All right, fact check this podcast, and today I am rejoined by Pete Quinonis,

and we are going to talk about Nazi book burnings.

So I feel like everybody knows that the Nazis burned books.

Like you learned that in elementary school, right?

Like, everybody knows that the Nazis burned books.

But the interesting thing growing up and studying more about history and what actually happened

is they really don't talk about what was being burned.

Like it makes it out that, you know, our history classes that we learned in school,

they make it seem like the Nazis were just destroying,

you know, good intellectual type of stuff.

Like they were just burning books real willy-nilly

and trying to, like, destroy culture and society.

But when you find out what they were actually burning,

and then you look at that in the lens of what's going on in modern society,

man, shit really starts to make a lot of sense, doesn't it? So that's why I asked Pete on today.

And Pete, let's just kind of, let's just kind of jump jump right into it because I feel like there's a lot that we could cover.

And I want to be respectful of your time and not spend three hours on this because we could probably do that pretty easily.

But let's just kind of jump right into it.

Like what are some of the things maybe that were taught that are just

objectively wrong as far as Nazi book burnings go?

Well, I mean, were they trying to destroy a culture?

Sure.
