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.

Did you find that photo of a Nazi book-burning party from 1933 on the wall of Stephen Miller's bedroom or bathroom...or from his wallet?
