The Empty Library (1995), also known as Bibliothek or simply Library, is a public memorial by Israeli sculptor Micha Ullman dedicated to the remembrance of the Nazi book burnings that took place in the Bebelplatz in Berlin, Germany on May 10, 1933. The memorial is set into the cobblestones of the plaza and contains a collection of empty subterranean bookcases.
… Etched with a quote from German-Jewish author Heinrich Heine's play Almansor (1820), it features the chilling message:

That was but a prelude;

where they burn books,

they will ultimately burn people as well.
