日本を占領したアメリカを中心とする連合軍（GHQ）は、建て前では言論の自由をとなえて
いましたが、報道・出版の徹底的な事前検閲を行いました。書信の開封による検閲まで行っ
ていました。
GHQの言論統制はこれにとどまりませんでした。ナチスが行った悪名高い「焚書」とは比較
にならない大規模な焚書をも行いました。「宣伝用刊行物没収」という名のもとに、何と
７７６９点の戦争前に刊行された書籍を没収し「焚書」したのです。GHQの占領政策は日本の
歴史・思想を抹殺することを目指していたという衝撃の事実が今や世界に公表されるわけです。

Breaking the Seal on the GHQ Burned Books
The GHQ, the command center of the American occupation forces in Japan, make a
great deal about “freedom of speech” on the surface, but all reportage and
publications were subjected to a thorough prepublication censorship. Even
private letters were unsealed and read due to this censorship.
The GHQ’s control of the expression of people’s views did not stop there.
They undertook a book burning on a scale that one can’t help but compare it to
the infamous book burnings of the Nazis. Under the name of “propaganda
publications,” a total of 7,769 works published before the war were confiscated
for “burning.” In this essay, Prof. Nishio Kanji shines a light on exactly what
types of books were seized, and exactly how were they taken.
In short, the truth of the shock that the policy of the GHQ was the obliteration
of Japanese history and thought is here proclaimed to the world.
