On January 1, 2016, the founding text of Nazi ideology fell into the public domain. Should we be scared of it? It is one of the most widely read political pamphlets in history. One of the most terrifying too. It still sells today all over the world. An estimated 70 million copies have been printed since its release.

On January 8, 2016, a critical German reissue of "Mein Kampf", with annotations on the original text and analyzes by scholars confronting the book's racist arguments with tragic reality, was published.
