History

The Reichsschrifttumskammer sought to control all aspects of the world of literature. Founded as part of Josef Goebbels's Reichskulturkammer under a Law of 1933-09-22, the Reichsschrifttumskammer kept watch not only over writers and what they wrote, but over the Germany book industry as a whole: publishing houses, literary agencies, and libraries also fell under its auspices.
