City: Berlin
Description:

The Bebelplatz is the public square across from Humboldt University to burn 20,000 books by "immoral" authors of whom the Nazis did not approve. Their list included Thomas and Heinrich Mann, Arnold Zweig, Kurt Tucholsky and Sigmund Freud. Today a monument is the reminder, though it blames Nazi students for the episode. A piece of plexiglass allows the viewer to look underground into a large, white room, filled with entirely empty, blank white bookcases.
