About Mein Kampf

Mein Kampf was first published in two volumes which appeared in Germany in 1925 and 1926, in the aftermath of the failed Beer Hall Putsch. Hitler wrote the book while incarcerated in Landsberg Prison for his role in the attempted coup, and uses it to outline his political stances and rail against Germany’s perceived enemies, including democratically elected politicians, Marxists and, above all, Jews. It provides us with a valuable insight into the formative experiences, beliefs and ideas of a man who is now widely considered to be one of history’s great monsters.

About Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party and Führer of the Third Reich from 1934 to 1945. In that time, he transformed Germany from a parliamentary democracy into a totalitarian dictatorship built on racist and anti-Semitic ideology that considered the so-called “Aryan race” to be inherently superior to other groups. His actions triggered the outbreak of the Second World War, and he was also responsible for setting up a network of brutal concentration camps and implementing the Holocaust, in which an estimated six million Jews lost their lives.
