In 1933 alone, there were 90 book burnings across 70 German cities, declared by a Ministry of Propaganda official to be \"a symbol of the revolution.\" In later years, the regime used less violent means of domination, pillaging bookstores and libraries, in addition to prosecuting uncooperative publishers and dissident authors. Guenter Lewy deftly analyzes the various strategies that the Nazis employed to enact censorship and the government officials who led the attack on a free intellectual life. \u003cem\u003eHarmful and Undesirable\u003c\/em\u003e paints a fascinating portrait of intellectual life under Nazi dictatorship, detailing the dismal fate of those who were caught in the wheels of censorship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guenter Lewy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197524281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197524282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Guenter Lewy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942650282239,"sku":"9780197524282","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dfd731d9-a595-4db8-a811-ed495c4b96f0.jpg?v=1681493570","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/harmful-and-undesirable-guenter-lewy-9780197524282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
