LETTER: Nazis banned, burned books; recall what happened then

To Ozaukee Press:

In recent times there have been well-meaning groups that wish to purge books from school and public libraries. I am opposed to this policy. It goes against free inquiry, a key component in the American system.

Censorship is a slippery slope. In the 1930s, the Nazis in Germany burned millions of books they deemed undesirable. Think about what happened from that action.

It also should be noted that in this age of information anything can be found online. If you want to make a book popular, then ban it.
