While book banning in schools and school libraries in the USA is a hot button issue today, I, not the IMDb as a whole, I personally think it doesn’t compare to the level where Hitler took it. He didn’t just ban books in school libraries and in schools, he banned them in all public libraries, arrested authors, confiscated books, burned books, and at first restricted sales in bookstores, and then out right banned sales and publication. That is real book banning. The worst part of it is that many titles on the Nazis banned list included many authors who weren’t German. But staying with German and Austrian-German authors and Jewish German authors first, and then going to non-German authors later, many films have been made from their works. Many were made outside of Germany during Hitler’s lifetime. But the most ironic twist of fate and poetic justice is that after World War 2 ended, Hitler’s own book, “Mein Kampf”, was banned in Germany until it fell into public domain.
Which of these film versions made from a Hitler banned book is your favorite?
