Adolf Hitler's book Mein Kampf has become a best seller in Germany, selling over 100,000 new copies. This comes a year after Mein Kampf was allowed to be printed again in Germany.
The last publication of Mein Kampf in Germany was during World War Two in 1945. However, after that it was banned up until last year. Last year in January Mein Kampf was on sale again in Germany. Mein Kampf instantly sold out in German bookshops when it was allowed to be sold in stores again. Although, in the digital age, Germans could just get Mein Kampf in pdf form. Or buy Mein Kampf on Amazon. A quick summary of Mein Kampf is that it is a book which focuses on a hatered of Jewish people, by Adolf Hitler. The hatered came from Hitler's early years spent in Vienna. It became compulsory for every household in Germany to keep a copy of Mein Kampf. This resulted in the book becoming more sold than the Bible. And made Hitler rich. Because the copyright expired, after 70 years, the state agreed to printing new verisions of the book. This has been after numerous attempts since World War Two to try and get the book published again. Some have condemned the decision to allow the publication of the book again. Particuarly the Jewish community. However, not everyone has condemned the publication of the book. Many argue that the publication of the book can show that Hitler was wrong. That Adolf Hitler's statements in Mein Kampf were and are wrong. The publication has led some to see it with fear. And others to see it as something we can learn from, avoiding the mistakes made in history.
