Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ and the Holocaust: A Prelude to Genocide (Perspectives on the Holocaust)

Description:

About this item:

For decades scholars have pored over Hitler's autobiographical journey/political treatise, debating if Mein Kampf has genocidal overtones and arguably led to the Holocaust. For the first time, Hitler's Mein Kampf and the Holocaust sees celebrated international scholars analyse the book from various angles to demonstrate how it laid the groundwork for the Shoah through Hitler's venomous attack on the Jews in his text.

Split into three main sections which focus on 'contexts', 'eugenics' and 'religion', the book reflects carefully on the point at which the Fuhrer's actions and policies turn genocidal during the Third Reich and whether
Mein Kampf presaged Nazi Germany's descent into genocide. There are contributions from leading academics from across the United States and Germany, including Magnus Brechtken, Susannah Heschel and Nathan Stoltzfus, along with totally new insights into the source material in light of the 2016 German critical edition of Mein Kampf. Hitler's views on Marxism, violence, and leadership, as well as his anti-Semitic rhetoric are examined in detail as you are taken down the disturbing path from a hateful book to the Holocaust.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“With in-depth studies of Mein Kampf as a genre (an anti-Semitic Bildungsroman), analyses of its context, esthetics, and its religious overtones, this collection of essays illuminates the most lethal and darkest of books. The close readings of Hitler's language of crusade against the enemy and of his prophetic and apocalyptic discourse show how his breviary of hate led to the Holocaust, and how rhetorical violence can become a pathway to mass murder.” ―Clemence Boulouque, Carl and Bernice Witten Associate Professor in Jewish and Israel studies, Columbia University, USA

Hitler's Mein Kampf and the Holocaust is a very important anthology about one of the most influential books in modern world history, written by Adolf Hitler in 1923/24 during his imprisonment in the small Bavarian town of Landsberg am Lech. After its first appearance in 1925 it was destined to unfold its fatal effect as an ideological manifest of National Socialism. The anthology sheds light on key aspects of the complex history of the impact of Mein Kampf and represents a standard work on this subject.” ―Stefan Paulus, Research Associate in Faculty of Philology and History, Augsburg University, Germany

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible and fraught with errors

S.e. · October 3, 2023

This isn't even the book you're trying to study, and notice the blatant colored language, the use of crooked lettering... every single possible propagandistic swindle has been applied to this as a propaganda piece. Not fit for serious study or intellectual analysis whatsoever. Not surprising, given the source.

Not the book Mein Kampf

A.C. · July 2, 2024

This book is not Mein Kampf written by Adolf Hitler.It is written by various authors ABOUT Mein Kampf. Insights and history of that era.
