The Nazi book burning happened because Germany wanted to cleanse the country of writings that were viewed as subversive and undermined the National Socialist administration. There were about 25,000 volumes of un-German books that were burned, such as American and Jewish novels.

On May 10, 1933 upwards of 25,000 books that were deemed â??un-Germanâ?? were to be symbolically burned by the German Student Union. Books that were viewed to be â??un-Germanâ?? are books that were subversive or undermined the ideologies of the National Socialist administration.

History. The less history there is about something, the less chance that something will become what it once was. This method has been in use for thousands of years. Destroy history, destroy future. Without history people are more easily controlled, mainly because their trying to find themselves. So just destroying any history, the method works.
