I snapped supra in 2013, it was a rare instance of good graffiti. It was on a remaining building of Joseph Feiss clothing factory in Cleveland. Since then the building has been converted into a school.
„Where they burn books, they will ultimately also burn people.“ — Heinrich Heine
When the nazi-fascists came to power in Germany in 1933, they orchestrated bonfires of books. Many intellectuals left the country. In 1934, in Paris, the exiles created a Library of the Burned Books. The German fascists burned books in occupied countries, e.g. a large majority of school libraries in Poland were destroyed, and books burned. This was part of cultural genocide.
