Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Mein Kampf hits stores in tense Germany
Or “My Struggle” is one of the most controversial books in the world.
It was written by the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler mostly while he was in prison in
the mid-1920s and printed in 1925, eight years before he came to power. It
illustrates Hitler’s ideological concept and plans for the future to colonize neighboring
countries for Germany’s prosperity.
It had been banned to be reprinted because of the extreme antisemitism
that let to Holocaust and fears for stirring neo-Nazi sentiment until 70 years
after the author’s death when the copyright expired by German law.
Now this book is available in bookstores across the country, though not
all the booksellers are excited to promote it. It is a critical time for the country
and the public because of the flooding immigrants from Syria and Africa. Public
sentiment seems divided whether to allow them to fit into their country or not.
In those days, it was the Jew that were discriminated by Nazis. Today, who could
be targeted by extremists like Neo-Nazis?
Enjoy reading and finding what this 90-year-old book could mean or
bring to Germans.
