Almost 10 years ago, “Mein Kampf” experienced an enormous surge in popularity as an e-book that was listed for just 99 cents in Amazon’s “Propaganda & Political Psychology” section.
Originally published in 1925, the 387-page anti-Semitic manifesto about the “Jewish danger” and Nazi ideology was written in a Bavarian prison before Hitler came to power. The title of the book, “Mein Kampf,” translates as “My Struggle.”

“After the massacre and atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists on October 7th – the day on which the most Jews were murdered since the Holocaust – this is another revelation that testifies to the sources of inspiration of the terrorist organization Hamas and proves once again that everyone “his actions have the same goal as the Nazis – the extermination of the Jews,” Herzog’s office wrote.
