The autobiographical work "My Struggle", written by Adolf Hitler in 1924 and which became the "Bible of the Third Reich" after he came to power in 1933, has come into the news again and is deeply dividing public opinion.
The concern arose from the fact that the book has been banned in Germany since 1945, but that ban expires in 2015 and there are conflicting opinions on whether it should be reissued or not. The rights of the book belong to the state of Bavaria. It is therefore up to the courts to decide whether to extend the ban beyond that date, based on the Nazi propaganda law.
