| Abstract [eng] |
The book publishing was strongly restricted in Lithuania during the Nazi occupation. The occupants had rights to control the whole process of book publishing, i.e the verification of a book‘s contents, editing, to assign paper for printing and even the placing of the books among Lithuanian bookstores. The Nazi published the whole bunch of rules and orders to make it easier for them to control the publishing of books in the ocupated country. They conjoined the printing houses in Lithuania, during summer times the most productive were closed, they controled the number of bookstores in cities and many more. Despite of the Nazi‘s struggle to fully enslave lithuanians and their culture, to make Lithuania a place for german people, lithuanians managed to survive. Lithuanian books had a significant role in it. Thanks to Lithuanian publishers, who often risked their lives to make a book available for the readers, many different publications were printed in Lithuania during the occupation. |
