Description

Adolf Hitler, the dictator of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, wrote the first volume of Mein Kampf (“My Struggle”) while imprisoned Bavaria after his failed attempt to seize power in Munich in November, 1923.It is in Mein Kampf that the true nature of Hitler’s character can be discovered. He divided humans up based on physical attributes. Hitler stated that German “Aryans” with blond hair and blue eyes were at the top of the hierarchy (Hitler himself had brown hair and blue eyes),and assigned the bottom of the order to Jews, Poles, Russians, Czechs and Gypsies. In terms of political theories, Hitler announced his hatred in Mein Kampf toward what he believed to
be the twin evils of the world: Communism and Judaism, and he stated that his aim was to eradicate both from the face of the earth.The German government did not restrict the publication or sale of Mein Kampf, but the book did not become a best-seller until 1930.
