Guidelines from Die Bücherei 2:6 (1935), p. 279

1. The works of traitors, emigrants and authors from foreign countries who believe they can attack and denigrate the new German.

2. The literature of Marxism, Communism and Bolshevism.

3. Pacifist literature.

4. Literature with liberal, democratic tendencies and attitudes, and writing supporting the Weimar Republic.

5. All historical writings whose purpose is to denigrate the origin, the spirit and the culture of the German People, or to dissolve the racial and structural order of the People, or that denies the force and importance of leading historical figures in favor of egalitarianism and the masses, and which seeks to drag them through the mud.

6. Writings of a philosophical and social nature whose content deals with the false scientific enlightenment of primitive Darwinism and Monism.

7. Books that advocate "art" which is decadent, bloodless, or purely constructivist.

8. Writings on sexuality and sexual education which serve the egocentric pleasure of the individual and thus, completely destroy the principles of race.

9. The decadent, destructive and Volk-damaging writings of "Asphalt and Civilization" literati!

10. Literature by Jewish authors, regardless of the field.

11. Popular entertainment literature that depicts life and life's goals in a superficial, unrealistic and sickly sweet manner, based on a bourgeois or upper class view of life.

12. Nationalistic and patriotic kitsch in literature.

Wow, just like old clothing -- don't toss them out, wait a while and they'll be back in style.

Here's something you don't know.
Until the 14th amendent to the US Constitution and the "liberal activist" Warren Supreme Court it was entirely legal for any state to institute a ban exactly like the German one.
If anyone wants to dispute this, just try.
