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.

And if you meant to "name one" writer murdered at Palmiry (specifically, but there were many other execution sites for the extermination of Polish elites), for example the Warsaw University professors Stefan Kopeć (biologist) and Kazimierz Zakrzewski (historian) who co-wrote the Polish Popular Encyclopedia, or the poet and publisher Stefan Napierski.
(By chance, Napierski had translated to Polish one of the German books that have been burned: All Quiet on the Western Front.)
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.
The Soviets under Lenin and Stalin also burned books. Many more of them in fact.
And they burned for example literally everything written in Chechen language before 1944 when they tried to annihilate the Chechens so they would leave no trace at all and it was like they never existed. Even every reference to them was removed form the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. They also killed or removed every single Chechen from Chechnya replacing them with Slavs (the last ones were hunted down in the mountains years later), uprooted their cemetaries, destroyed their pre-colonial architecture, and so on. Anyway, they did it with a huge bonfire in Grozny, they just didn't make a show out if it.
The Maoists in China, especially the Red Guards, burned possibly even more books.
Did you see the photos of multiple bone and skin people when the allies retake the concentration camps? Teasing people, who are hungry, with food is a form of torture.
They were obsessed in documenting everything, which is why we have so much evidence proving the crimes of nazis, including censorship. Keep records of things is not the same thing as being censored. Where in the hell did you get that line of thought? I'm not going to lie, your arguments here sounds VERY retarded.
