BOOK BANNING AND BEYOND — Leaders in the Arts Speak Out!

Are we really headed in the same direction as the Nazis?

Read up on book banning as a crisis of our time in Picture This Post's article, ....

Here, Picture This Post presents thoughtful commentary from leaders in the broader artistic community — from performers, theatrical directors, artists, filmmakers, choreographers, and more — speaking to the dangers of censorship in the arts, ever mindful of this famous post-Holocaust quote from a pastor, speaking to the inaction of moral leaders like himself to fight the Nazi scourge.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Also here you will find reviews of films, theatrical productions and more that either were the targets of censorship or have anti-censorship themes.
