PS We all may be too young to remember BUT history tells us that

Symbolic Destruction: The book burnings, orchestrated by Nazi university students with the regime’s support, symbolized the Nazis’ desire to reshape German culture according to their ideology and suppress dissenting ideas.
Targeting “Un-German” Ideas: The burned books were labeled “un-German” and included works by Jewish authors, pacifist works, and texts promoting leftist political movements like socialism and communism.
Controlling Information: The book burnings were part of a larger campaign to control information and limit access to diverse viewpoints in German society.
Early Warning Sign: These acts are now seen by historians as a crucial precursor to the more severe atrocities that followed, including the Holocaust, highlighting the destructive power of censorship and the dangers of unchecked political propaganda.
