SUPPRESSED IN GERMANY
EARLY EDITION OF “MEIN KAMPF.”
IDEAS HITLER NOW DESIRES TO HIDE.
In the New York Public Library there is now on view a collection of bocks whose circulation is forbidden in Germany and the occupied countries. The writers whose works thus appear on the Nazis’ “Index Expurgatorius” cover a wide range, from Sir Thomas More to H. G. Wells and from Spinoza to Einstein. Strange to say, a book by Adolf Hitler himself is to .be seen in this exhibition —the first edition of “Mein Kampf.” It was published in 1925, before anyone dreamed that its author would attain his present worldwide celebrity. Today, however, this edition is taboo in Germany, as it is thought undesirable that the German people should know the opinion he held of them at that time, when he said of them that they could easily be led by' the nose like dogs. This passage has been removed from later editions, together with such statements as that man was originally a blond and that other types resulted from combinations with sub-human races.
