Books are weapons in the war of ideas
Broder, S. · 1942
Poster of Nazis burning books, with quotation by Franklin D. Roosevelt on a large book in the background: "Books cannot be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can put thought in a concentration camp forever. No man and no force can take from the world the books that embody man's eternal fight against tyranny. In this war, we know, books are weapons." Poster produced by the United States Office of War Information (OWI) for distribution to libraries and book stores.
