BOSTON—Humanities scholars gathered for an unusual talk here on 8 May at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association. Jean-Baptiste Michel and Erez Lieberman Aiden, mathematicians at nearby Harvard University, focused on issues that are standard material for historians. They discussed, for example, the period of intense censorship in Nazi Germany that began with festive book burnings in 1933 and ended with the Nazi's surrender in 1945. Some of those books were written by Jewish intellectuals, others just contained ideas that were considered “un-German.” Some scholars and artists who were highly influential virtually disappeared from public discourse when the Nazi Party came to power, while those favored by Nazi propaganda vaulted to prominence.
