On 10 May 1933 students from the Wilhelm Humboldt University in Berlin took books from their university library and burned them. They burning lasted for hours, and thousands of books were thrown into the fire. The students were not punished or expelled from the university for this. Over the next few days a lot of other German universities followed their example. The writers who Germany didn't need anymore were Albert Einstein and Thomas Mann, Sigmund Freud and Jack London, Ernst Hemingv and many others.
The book burning was a part of Nazi propaganda. They declared that Germany should burn anything which was not German and destroyed the German spirit and culture.

10 мая 1933 студенты из университета
Вильгельма Гумбольдта в Берлине взяли книги из своей университетской библиотеки
и сожгли их. Это сожжение продлилось в течение многих часов, и тысячи книг были
брошены в огонь. Студенты не были наказаны или высланы из университета за это.

примеру. Авторами, в которых Германия не нуждалась больше, был Альберт Эйнштейн
и Томас Манн, Зигмунд Фрейд и Джек Лондон, Эрнст Хемингв и многие другие.

Книжное
горение было частью нацистской пропаганды. Они объявили, что Германия должна

ранее известный немецкий поэт, Генрих Гейне, сказал: "Где они жгут книги,
они скоро сожгут людей. " К 1933 о его словах забыли, но семь лет спустя

IV. Read the text and say whether the sentences below are true or false.
Nearly 265 million people live in the USA and speak English. Although approximately one out of eight people in the US speaks a language other than English at home, there are more native speakers of English there than in any other country.
American English is very flexible and has absorbed many words from the languages of immigrants. Words like liaison and rendezvous (from French), and rodeo and tornado (from Spanish) came into the language because France and Spain once controlled parts of North America. Dutch and German settlers gave words such as waffle and cookies, and hamburger and noodles to American English.
The first English speakers to arrive met Native Americans who spoke many different languages. To trade with them, the Europeans learned words from the local languages, and some of these words became part of American English. The Europeans also learned the Native American names for the places they were passing through. Over half the states now have Native American names.
1. English is the native language for all Americans.
2. Tornado is a French word.
