About Mein Kampf

Product Description Proceeds donated to Jewish Charities & Organizations “In the pages of Mein Kampf Hitler presented the world with his dark vision for the future. Years would pass before he attained the power to realize that vision, but  Mein Kampf’s existence denies the free world the excuse of ignorance. We dismissed him as a madman and we ignored his wretched book; the result was a tragedy of unprecedented proportions. This is yet another lesson to take from Mein Kampf: the lesson of vigilance and responsibility, of not closing our eyes to the evil around us.”—From the introduction by Abraham Foxman   Amazon.com Review Mein Kampf is the angry diatribe of history’s most notorious anti-Semite, Adolph Hitler.  It details Hitler's childhood, the "betrayal" of Germany in World War I, the desire for revenge against France, the need for lebensraum (living space) for the German people, the glorification of the “Aryan” race, and the means by which the Nazi party can gain power - which Hitler identified as the extermination of “international poisoners,” a thinly-veiled reference to Jews. It was largely ignored as the ranting of an obscure, small-party politician until Hitler became chancellor of the Third Reich in January 1933, when the book stood atop the German bestseller lists and the first concentration camp, Dachau, opened.  As a bookseller, we think it is important to offer this infamous work because of its historical significance and educational role in the understanding and prevention of anti-Semitism.   A Message from the Anti-Defamation League Mein Kampf was Hitler's blueprint for what later became his war for world domination and for the extermination of the Jews and others. Written eight years before he assumed power in Germany, the book lays it all out: his megalomania, his conspiratorial obsession with Jews and his lust for power. For all who claimed they didn't know, all they had to do was read Mein Kampf to know of Hitler's intentions. Review "For years, Mein Kampf stood as proof of the blindness and complacency of the world. In its pages Hitler announced--long before he came to power--a program of blood and terror in a self-revelation of such overwhelming frankness that few had the courage to believe it...That such a man could go so far toward realizing his ambitions--that is a phenomenon the world will ponder for centuries to come." -- Konrad Heiden, author of Der Fuhrer: Hitler's Rise to Power
