This image shows a memorial embedded in a cobblestone plaza, featuring a powerful quote by Heinrich Heine: “Where they burn books, they will, in the end, also burn people.” The bronze plaque, surrounded by flames, commemorates the tragic history of book burnings, particularly during the Nazi era, as a warning against censorship and oppression. The etched names of persecuted writers and thinkers within the flames represent the cultural loss, reminding us of the dangers of silencing ideas and the importance of remembering this dark past.
