Manga ‘Mein Kampf” gives Hitler new audience

Asahi Shimbun

Tokyo: It was a Nazi tome in which Adolf Hitler outlined his belief in the superiority of the Aryan race and his anti-semitic thoughts.

But Mein Kampf has found a new audience in Japan, where a manga version of Hitler’s facist manifesto and part autobiography has become a minor hit since its publication late last year.

The release has fueled concerns in Germany, where the book remains banned more than 60 years after World War 2.

Tokyo publisher East Press released Waga Toso, or Mein Kampf (My Struggle), in November last year. The publisher said it wants to give the public an insight into Hitler as a person rather than simply demonising him as the leader who was responsible for the Holocaust.
