Wednesday in huge bonfire before the State Opera House.

One hundred and sixty Jewish and Marxist works, “un-German” in spirit, have been listed for the flames by the Nazi student organization.

It was pointed out that a complete list of Jewish authors alone would tax the erudition of the entire studenthood.
