On May 10, 1933, the German Student Union burned thousands of books in squares -the Berlin Opera, presided over by Goebbels. 88 years later in Canada, at the initiative of the Providence Catholic School Council, 5,000 books and comics – including Lucky Lucke, Tintin or Asterix – have been burned or destroyed to reconcile with indigenous communities in what has been called a “purification ceremony with flames “. Start burning the books and before long, you’re burning the people!
