Hitler presented the world with his bleak view of the future in Mein Kampf. Years would pass before he gained the authority to carry out his vision, but Mein Kampf’s presence removes the excuse of ignorance from the free world.

Another lesson to be learned from Mein Kampf is that of attention and responsibility, of not turning a blind eye to the evil that surrounds us.
