"On the evening of May 10, 1933, the first day of the summer semester, students and professors joined members of the local Sturmabeilung around a bonfire at the Opernplatz in the shadows of the Humboldt monument."

~ Charles Marsh, Strange Glory: A Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (NY: Knopf, 2014), p. 174, on the bonfire of books the Nazis organized in Berlin in May 1933
