Censorship in Nuremberg: Mehring Verlag Event on Gaza Genocide Banned

The city of Nuremberg in Germany has censored an event organized by Mehring Verlag at the 30th Left-wing Literature Fair.

The event aimed to present two recent books by David North and discuss a socialist perspective on the genocide in Gaza and the danger of a third world war.

The authorities claim that criticism of militarism and war is “illegal”.

Thirty hours before the fair opened, the city of Nuremberg sent an email to the organizing team demanding that the text announcing the event be “REVISED IMMEDIATELY”.

The city threatened to “reserve the right to EXERCISE OUR PROPERTY RIGHTS and exclude the event in question from the program of the Left-Wing Literature Fair” if the text was not revised.

Author's summary: Nuremberg censors event on Gaza genocide.
