Thousands of books and authors were banned during the famous Nazi book burning of 1933 for speaking out against the horrors of war, for just being Jewish, or even discussing sexual activity or politics. These included famous authors such as Ernest Hemmingway's "A Farewell to Arms", "The Iron Heel" by Jack London, and all books written by Sigmund Freud.

Anything that was "offensive to the Reich."

A few of these books were:

-All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Maria Remarque. Anti-War novel. Hitler called it "insulting to the Wehrmacht and their cause."

-The Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka. Also banned by the Communists.

You should address yourself on specific sites such as "verbrannte-buecher.de" or on the official Berlin-Site, berlin.de that hosts a database of books and authors forbidden by nazi-regime.

Anyway, shortly after Hitlers takeover in january 1933 the Berlin librarian Wolfgang Herrmann began to create not less a blacklists: The combustion of Books in may, 10th 1933 followed his recommendations, published in several german newspapers. It contained the following authors (and titles, those without titles being completely banned)

In fact this was only the beginning: The Nazi state founded in november 1933 an institution called the "Reichsschrifttumkammer", that had to systematizise the blacklists and create new categories of books to be banned: Were forbidden books that were considered: to undermine the military moral, to be written in a communist or socialist perspective, to be written by a Jew, or to be part of urban literature (the nazi-term is Asphaltliteratur). The list of "harmful and undesirable writings" finally grew up to more than 4,500 entries in 1935.

Any books written by Jews or Communists or any books about Communism. Also any books that challenged the ideas promulgated the official teachings and policies of the ruling Nazi Party and its leaders. for example, books by Karl Marx were banned because they were on the subject of Communism.
