Individual Research
These investigations were conducted by the members of our team who drew their conclusions to the best of their knowledge and belief. The results cannot be considered ‘scientific’ in the proper sense of the word, as they they don’t rely on evidence that can be scientifically verified. This, however, is precisely the aim of censorship: To be untraceable. Lists that explicitly document acts of censorships and that are scientifically verifiable are the exception from the rule, the tip of the iceberg. In this sense, the category ‘individual research’ describes explorations below the surface.
The *
The asterisk in our database (*) is reserved for titles from the “Liste der auszusondernden Literatur” issued after World War II in the Soviet Occupation Zone which predominantly features national socialist literature. These items were not part of the installation The Parthenon of Books.
