Among the first books singled out for banning or burning in Nazi Germany were volumes that championed pacifism and anti-militarism. No other work represented these tenets more forcibly than All Quiet on the Western Front by German author Erich Maria Remarque (1898–1970).
To reporters, Remarque predicted World War II and looked to President Franklin Roosevelt as the world's only hope. In 1941, he published Flotsam (entitled "Love Thy Neighbor" in German), in a serialized version in Collier's. It featured the sufferings of exiles fleeing Hitler's Germany.
German novelist. Remarque, the son of a bookbinder, was born and educated in Osnabrück. After World War I, in which he was twice wounded, he worked at various jobs before becoming a journalist for a sports magazine and writing in his spare time.
Remarque’s creative life was encompassed by World War I and the collapse of imperial Germany, the atrophy of German democracy in the 1920’s, the rise of Nazism, and the outbreak of World War II.
When the Nazis came to power in 1939, Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front was one of the books publicly burned by the new regime. German critics also attempted to prove that Remarque was exaggerating his own war experience and misrepresenting the realities of World War I.
