Book Banning Guidelines of Nazi Germany
Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2009 8:02 pm
Fundamentalist Christians love to define Nazi Germany as atheistic and having an ideology born of Darwin, how does that square with these Nazi book banning guidelines?:
Guidelines from Die Bücherei 2:6 (1935), p. 279:
6. Writings of a philosophical and social nature whose content deals with the false scientific enlightenment of primitive Darwinism and Monism.
and from Blacklist for Public Libraries and Commercial Lending Libraries (Fighting League for German Culture):
c) All writings that ridicule, belittle or besmirch the Christian religion and its institution, faith in God, or other things that are holy to the healthy sentiments of the Volk.
