...nights later, at a reception in Manhattan by the American Jewish Congress, Dr. Ludwig boasted that the Nazi burning of his books and those of many another Jew and Pacifist, including Erich Maria Remarque (All Quiet on the Western Front), is helping to boost their world sales, quickening the flow of royalty checks to Switzerland where Friends Ludwig and Remarque bank their money in gold francs. "The night of the public burning of the books," said Author Ludwig. "I invited my friend, Erich Maria Remarque, to drink with me. We opened our oldest Rhine wine, turned on the radio, heard...
