Please leave a message in the German concentration camp: "When a regime starts burning books, if it is not stopped, its next step will be to burn people!"
1933 may 10, a shameful day destined to go down in history. On this day, the Germans burned many thinkers' books. It is worth noting that this Nazi movement, which aimed to stifle China's thoughts, received enthusiastic support from the German people, especially young people.

Heinrich heine wrote the famous sentence "This is just a prelude. They burned books there, and they will eventually burn people there "(written in 1820, Bü cher Verblent, a Dortmund woman, and Auchamende Menschen, a Verblent man), just like a prophecy, the Germans proudly walked to the grave of the future.

Now in the center of Baerbel Square in Berlin, there is a book burning monument, and this sentence is engraved on the nameplate next to the monument.

There is such a passage that has been widely reproduced:

At the entrance of the concentration camp in Dachau, Germany, there is a famous warning from a poet in the17th century: "When a regime starts to burn books, if it is not stopped, its next step will be to burn people! When a regime begins to be silent, if it is not stopped, its next step will be to silence it! "

The entrance to the German concentration camp is generally only engraved with "Arbeit macht frei", that is, "labor brings freedom". The accuracy of this statement cannot be confirmed.

There is a blog post in Nazi May: "They burned books there and will eventually burn people there", which is a good reference for you.
