Draggingtree Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 American Thinker: July 12, 2014 The Disgraceful Book of Adolf HitlerBy Michael Curtis What poorly written and turgid 700-page book has sold more than 15 million copies in the past and has recently become a bestseller in Croatia, India, Turkey, Russia, and Qatar? As a result of a recent decision in Bavaria, Germany, even a schoolchild will know that it is Mein Kampf (My Struggle), written by Adolf Hitler in his prison cell in Landsberg am Lech and signed on October 16, 1924. Though the publication of the book was never technically illegal in Germany, the state of Bavaria that held the copyright refused to allow its republication. However, that copyright will expire in December 2015, and plans to publish an “annotated” edition are underway. This version is the result of critical editing of the book by five scholars attached to the Institute for Contemporary History in Munich. Understandable emotion has been aroused by the announcement of republication of the book, a work that can be considered the original blueprint for the Holocaust and a fulsome expression of hatred of Jews. The difficult question is whether to oppose the publication of this hateful book Here we go Witch Hunting as if we are in Salem. No you don’t ban a book or anything because you disagree with it otherwise you become them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
