An Excellent Look at a Little-Studied Subject,
By
This review is from: The Holocaust and the Book: Destruction and Preservation (Studies in Print Culture and the History of the Book) (Paperback)
I looked up this book to study censorship, and what I found was an interesting, although somewhat narrowly focused read. Basically, and in accordance with the title, this tome deals with how books were either destroyed or preserved in Nazi occupied countries.Each chapter is written by a different person, and therefore offers a unique voice and perspective on literary censorship. The standout chapters for me were "'The Jewish Question' and Censorship in the USSR" - which offers a great glimpse of how governments can slowly turn to censorship, and "When the Printed Word Celebrates the Human Spirit" - in which the author talks about the library kept up at her concentration camp. This book offers an informative, interesting look on literary censorship; and given the variety of authors, everyone who is seeking to learn more about this subject will likely find at least one or two chapters to be particularly useful. |
