A literatura da Sociedade em Magdeburgo foi destruída em 1933. O seu próprio Anuário de 1974 registra que nos dias 21, 23 e 24 de agosto livros, Bíblias e quadros pesando 65.189 quilos foram retirados da fábrica, carregados em vinte e cinco caminhões e queimados publicamente na periferia da cidade. Separadamente, em 7 de setembro de 1933, o secretário de Estado dos Estados Unidos telegrafou ao consulado em Berlim dizendo que a Sociedade havia relatado que “a portion of the Society’s property including books is being burned today by soldiers or police acting as custodians of the Society’s factory”, e pediu ao consulado que prestasse assistência.

Year Book of Jehovah's Witnesses, “Part 1—Germany”

1974 · p.111 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“Even though the declaration had been weakened and many of the brothers could not wholeheartedly agree to its adoption, yet the government was enraged and started a wave of persecution against those who had distributed it.”

The following paragraphs record that on 28 June 1933 thirty SA men occupied the Magdeburg premises and hoisted the swastika over the building (pp. 111-112), and that on 21, 23 and 24 August 1933 books, Bibles and pictures weighing 65,189 kilograms were taken from the factory, loaded into twenty-five trucks and publicly burned at the edge of Magdeburg (p. 112).

Foreign Relations of the United States: Diplomatic Papers, 1933, Volume II, “The Secretary of State to the Consul General at Berlin (Messersmith)”

7 de setembro de 1933 · p.412 · Cordell Hull · United States Department of State

“Representative of the Watch Tower Bible Tract Society informs Department that an order has been issued by the German authorities requiring the vacating of the Home at Magdeburg owned by the Society and now occupied by Harbeck, an American citizen and the Society’s resident manager, and that a portion of the Society’s property including books is being burned today by soldiers or police acting as custodians of the Society’s factory. You are requested to lend appropriate assistance and report by cable.”

A telegram from the Secretary of State in Washington to the American Consul General in Berlin, passing on what the Society had reported to the Department. It is the Department repeating the Society’s account, not an observation by any American official. Two days later a further instruction to the Ambassador (document 290 in the same volume) states that “the Department is also informed that recently the German authorities burned some of the Society’s publications”.

Notes. The burning this telegram reports was reported to Washington on 7 September 1933. The organisation’s own 1974 Year Book dates the large burning of literature at Magdeburg to 21, 23 and 24 August 1933. Whether the two accounts describe the same destruction is not established by either document.
