Hebrew Version of ‘Mein Kampf’ Will Soon Be Available
Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” (My Struggle), the book in which the Nazi dictator set out his anti-Semitic philosophy, will soon be available in Hebrew.
Retired Israeli educator Dan Yaron told a reporter Friday that he had completed the first translation of the book, which Hitler wrote in a Munich prison in 1923-24 after an abortive coup, nearly 10 years before the Nazis took power.
Yaron said the translation responded to requests from Israeli students and researchers of the Holocaust despite a lack of cooperation, bordering on hostility, from other Israeli academics, the local newspaper Sharon Times reported.
The book is not available at Israeli public libraries and is hard to find even in the original German.
