Today in Labor History May 10, 1933: The Nazis staged massive public book burnings, beginning in Berlin, with students from Humboldt University, destroying thousands of titles. German poet, Heinrich Heine, said back in the early 1800s, "Where one burns books, one will soon burn people." They burned books written by Jewish, half-Jewish, communist, socialist, anarchist, liberal, pacifist, lgbtq and sexologist authors. The first books burned were those of Karl Marx and Karl Kautsky. Many of the books that were burned were seized from the library of Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, director of the Institute for Sexual Science (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft), which the Nazis raided in Berlin on May 6, 1933.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" --George Santayana (commonly paraphrased as, "those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it)

We have seen what's happening today in the U.S. (and the U.K, and and and) happen before. And we saw where it led.

.We are far too close to being there again. We must end this now.

I comment on his YouTube videos and he blocks me without any reply to my criticism. He is a critic of others but can't take it.
