Events
Book burning in the
Opernplatz ,
Berlin , May 11, 1933
May –
Nazi book burnings take place in
Germany by the
German Student Union , principally of works by Jewish intellectuals, leading to an
Exilliteratur . Although his novels are spared (unlike those of his brother
Heinrich Mann ),
Thomas Mann settles in Switzerland.
Lion Feuchtwanger , on a lecture tour of the United States in January, has decided not to return to Germany;
Bertolt Brecht has moved to
Prague in February; and
Alfred Döblin to Switzerland in March.
May 16 –
17 – In the
Soviet Union ,
Joseph Stalin orders the
NKVD to "preserve but isolate"
Osip Mandelstam , after having been informed of the "
Stalin Epigram "; Mandelstam is then arrested. A protest by literary figures, including
Anna Akhmatova and
Boris Pasternak , prompts Stalin to declare that he might "review the case" (he never will). His admiration for Pasternak as a poetic genius is strengthened when the latter asks for a private meeting to discuss "life and death" — although he never grants it, he instructs the NKVD to "leave that cloud-dweller [Pasternak] alone".
