A colossal auto-da-fe of books of Jewish authorship is being planned for midnight of May 10, Nazi book-burning day, by the student body here. The fire will take place in the Schlooplatz, which is the the town centre. The students hope that their fire will rival in magnitude the great conflagration to be built by students of Berlin’s famous Unter der Linden, in the square opposite Berlin University.
