Finally they mention what "books" the nazis burned.
The list is old, and is available out there. This is just one example.
Should I be amazed how people here are stupid enough to believe it?
Most of it in Germany 1933 during the public ceremonies was any work of any contemporary author who was critical of them, be it German or foreign.
Over here in Warsaw they destroyed just any Polish book they could find, and in general they closed down and often destroyed every library in the abolished country. But especially they sought out (and that also in private collections) any sort of patriotic or nationalist literature, and educational books in Polish language (and for example any maps showing Poland on them), as a part of their work of annihilating the Polish culture.
They also arrested (and in many cases then unceremoniously executed in the places like Palmiry forest, along with school teachers and such) thousands of Polish authors and librarians alike.
From what I have seen, no. Some were, but most weren't.
You like War of the Worlds, right? At least it inspired a lot of the hobbies many people here enjoy. Anyway, HG Wells was one of the authors they burned.
In summary, censorship with nazis is a common thing.
