A bookburning rally was held in 1938 in Berlin at the Institute of Aryan Culture. While top Nazi leadership watched, troops marched in formation and Nazi supporters took books deemed counter to their ideology and burned them in a large bonfire. Nazi officials attending the rally included Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and Elsa Schneider. Jones kept several souvenirs from the rally in his journal: the telegram summoning Dr. Schneider to Berlin, a flier advertising the rally, and a saved title page from a burned copy of German edition of the Communist Manifesto.

  • A bookburning rally was held in 1938 in Berlin at the Institute of Aryan Culture. While top Nazi leadership watched, troops marched in formation and Nazi supporters took books deemed counter to their ideology and burned them in a large bonfire. Nazi officials attending the rally included Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and Elsa Schneider. Silently saddened at the destruction of knowledge, Schneider stepped away from the party platform and walked down the corridor, where she was grabbed by a disguised Indiana Jones. Jones and his father had come to Berlin to retrieve the elder Jones' Grail Diary, which Schneider had brought with her from Castle Brunwald. Managing to get the diary back from the Austrian archaeologist, Jones slipped back into the crowd in his officer's disguise. Holding the book in his hands, he turned to discover that Hitler and his entourage were exiting the rally and had stopped. Fearing he had been discovered, Jones passed the grail diary to the Fuhrer, who signaled for a pen from one of his aides, signed the diary, and passed it back to Jones, thinking him to be an admirer from the military. Hitler and his entourage continued their departure, and Jones exhaled with relief. Jones kept several souvenirs from the rally in his journal: the telegram summoning Dr. Schneider to Berlin, a flier advertising the rally, and a saved title page from a burned copy of German edition of the Communist Manifesto.
