asks on , for an explanation on why university students can not be shown the full version of “Triumpoh of the Will”

The
Prof. who cut short “Triumph of the
Will”

I’M STUDYING German at university, and we watched Leni Riefenstahl’s
Triumph of the Will today.

We only watched part because my professor, who is German, felt a bit ashamed (I could tell). She prefaced the film by saying how it is illegal to own a copy of it in Deutschland, and illegal even to watch it. I must admit Riefenstahl’s “Will” is quite amazing, and I can see where it could incite the masses in Germany.

[Reichsparteitag]

My question to you, as an author with firsthand knowledge, what is the difference between burning books, as the Nazis did with entartete Literature, and banning them, as in modern Germany?

I would love to hear your opinion. My German professors are brainwashed, as you can imagine.
They grew up in modern Germany, so they’re full of guilt.
