The two pictures are 11 years apart.

On 10 May 1933, the Nazi party staged an ideological spectacle of burning of 'un-German’ books.

2nd image: Auschwitz II-Birkenau, burning pits outside gas chamber V, 1944.

Auschwitz warns us of where ideologies of hatred can lead to.

Group of prisoners of Auschwitz burning corpses of people murdered in gas chambers in burning pits. Smoke is visible above the pile.

"Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen" = “That was just a prelude, where you burn books, you end up burning people too”. The German poet Heinrich Heine wrote this already in 1820; his books were among tha first that were burnt in 1933.
