With this book, we commemorate the great writers whose books fell victim to the burning by the National Socialists. Adolf Hitler aimed to make the works of these authors forgotten. He almost succeeded, as in the decades following World War II, no one paid attention to the books and writers who once shaped society. In honor of these remarkable authors and against forgetting, we publish this book, which has not lost its significance to this day. Rodja Smolny, Publisher.
