He described how the Nazis justified banning certain books, the type of books they banned, and the actions they took to keep those books from the public.<\/p>\n

Books considered \u201cforeign\u201d or immoral were banned. They included works by Ernest Hemingway, Sigmund Freud, Helen Keller, Jack London and H.G. Wells.<\/p>\n

So, I took the books off the shelf by myself.\u2019 More accommodation by more people,” Finkelstein said. “The students were guided by a blacklist developed by three \u2013 I hate to do this \u2013 by three pro-Nazi librarians. [laughs] Librarians also got to accommodate the regime. I\u2019m sorry. But three Nazi librarians helped. They developed this blacklist of books.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
