In the vicinity of Lorient, radical neo-Nazi groups immolate books perceived as too forward-thinking.
New and Uncensored Take:
Flames engulf children's books on a French beach:
An ugly and reprehensible incident has unfolded on a beach in Morbihan, France, as extreme-right fanatics from Lorient have carried out a book burning, bragging about it online. According to reports from Liberation, they shared a nasty montage of their actions on social media, complete with Nazi references and hate-filled slogans.
Stolen from the municipal library Elsa-Triolet in Lanester, a town near Lorient, these books centered on sexual education and LGBTQ+ themes found themselves being torn apart and set ablaze. Local Green MP Damien Girard has vowed to report the incident to the public prosecutor.
"Ignite their words, ignite their lies."
In the disturbing footage, the perpetrators are seen rifling through the library shelves and plucking books from their rightful places. The next scene reveals these books being shredded and tossed into a clay pot on the beach. They're then doused in flammable liquid before a militant, clad in white-laced boots, a symbol favored by nationalist skinheads, lights the pyre. This is followed by a disturbing display of book burnings led by the Nazis in 1933 against books by Jewish, Marxist, or pacifist authors. The video concludes with a rapid succession of "black suns," a symbol of Nazi mysticism, and Celtic crosses, a symbol of French neo-fascists.
