# Nazi book-burnings of 1933 include Einstein as a dated public erasure-heading

Date: 1933

## The fact

On 10 May 1933 Nazi book-burnings included Einstein as a public erasure-heading. He did not light the piles. The lists did. Albert Einstein's documented role is: He did not burn the books. The regime did; his name was on the lists.

## Context

University towns burned. Sharing the targeting with that regime is required. The setting of Nazi book-burnings of 1933 include Einstein as a dated public erasure-heading is the public file around 1933-05-10. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [protection-of-minority-rights](/drivers/protection-of-minority-rights) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a sourced public record of Nazi book-burnings of 1933 include Einstein as a dated public erasure-heading under 1933-05-10 for Albert Einstein. Established: a sourced public record of Nazi book-burnings of 1933 include Einstein as a dated public erasure-heading under 1933-05-10.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not treat this as Einstein's act. Complex contribution: he is the target. Mixed effects of Nazi book-burnings of 1933 include Einstein as a dated public erasure-heading are separate paths.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

The attached driver is protection-of-minority-rights. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Shared responsibility is part of Nazi book-burnings of 1933 include Einstein as a dated public erasure-heading. Naming Albert Einstein does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1933-05-10 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
