Have you
heard the news? The copyright owned by the German state of Bavaria on “Mein
Kampf” (Hitler's manifesto first published in 1925) expired on Dec. 31.
As a consequence:
the book, whose publication has been banned in Germany since the end of World
War II, may now be published there. Early this year (2016) a German
scholarly academy will publish a two-volume, 2,000-page edition of “Mein
Kampf”, placing Hitler's own version into historical context (and will refute
its outright lies and expose its half-truths) with approximately 3,500
annotations.
Three
stories (from New York Times, Deutsche Welle,
and The New
Republic) discuss the controversy that still surrounds
the book.
But, what
do YOU think about the issues? Read carefully the 3 articles to help yourself
summarise the ideas and them answer, as complete as possible, the following 2
questions:
Do you
support or oppose publishing a new edition of “Mein Kampf”? Why?
Will its
publication promote a deeper understanding of the past, or give more fuel to
intolerant views in the present? Why?
As usual, send
your answer to blogeducativo08@gmail.com.
I will check it on Monday.
