Poem bei Erich Kästner, published 1930. (Later his books were burned by those some of you think were the Good Guys™)

"The Nazi leadership detested Kästner as a popular, cosmopolitan, big-city 'asphalt writer'” He was arrested twice by the Gestapo and interrogated for several hours. With the exception of "Emil und die Detektive", his works were burned at the public book burning on May 10, 1933, as 'contrary to the German spirit'."

Reality is not simple.
