Abstract:
Deals with the Aryanization of the S. Fischer publishing house, founded by Samuel Fischer. Describes the steps taken by the Nazi regime against Jewish writers, publishers, and publishing houses. Mentions the bookburning on 10 May 1933 in almost all the German universities, during which also books by two prominent authors published by the S. Fischer Verlag, Alfred Kerr and Emil Ludwig, were destroyed. On 13 July 1933 a "list of undesired literature" was published, containing 24 authors (64 titles) of the S. Fischer Verlag. In the beginning of 1934 the publishing house was transferred to the control of the Reichskulturkammer, while negotiations on Aryanization began. These were concluded in December 1936, when the S. Fischer Verlag was taken over by Peter Suhrkamp.
