Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ to be republished in Germany
February 4th, 2010 - 12:24 am ICT by IANSMunich, Feb 3 (DPA) Adolf Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf” is to be published in Germany for the first time since 1945, the Munich-based Institute of Contemporary History (IfZ) announced Wednesday.
Hitler’s propagandistic work, the title of which translates as “My Struggle”, has been banned from publication since World War II.
Historian Edith Raim of the IfZ said the book can be published again from 2015, when the copyright expires 70 years after Hitler’s death.
The institute plans to produce an annotated version of “Mein Kampf”, with academic references to the text which was first published in two volumes, in 1925 and 1926.
The Finance Ministry in the state of Bavaria, where the text is deposited, objected to the planned publication and said it had not given the IfZ its agreement.
