11 August 1936,

Francoists burned books in Basque at the Plaza Vieja de Tolosa. The books and the editorial of the cultural agent Ixaka Lopez Mendizabal were looted. They stole, stacked in the square and set on fire the books that had been inadequate in the “bibliocáusto”, as years before the Nazis had done in Berlin.
