It’s Time to Burn the Books

For those who attend this great school or similar school, when they see tables, tables, and lockers full of literary textbooks, they often remember useless things with rather thick notes.

Once the final solution is completed, the Nazis will become a Jewish "museum" to accommodate the particular book preserved by the Nazis himself.
