Mein Kampf, which means "My Struggle" in English, was published in two volumes in 1925-1926.

Written while Hitler was in prison, it features autobiographical information about his youth and explains his anti-Semitic and extremist views.

For 70 years, the hate-filled book was banned out of respect for victims of the Nazis and to prevent incitement of hatred.
