The Central Council of Jews in Germany decided to back the proposal to reprint Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, which is banned from publication in Germany since 1945.

Munich’s Institute for Contemporary History applied this week for permission to reprint the work after 2015, when the German state of Bavaria’s copyright is due to expire. It aims to produce an edition containing a critical introduction and footnotes challenging Hitler’s assertions. “A scientific edition would help to dispel the peculiar myths surrounding this book,” said Horst Möller, the institute’s director.
