@Rarebear I shared this question with him as soon as I read it. The same for Ragingloli.
The SO and I were in Munich a few months ago and took day tours of the Dachau concentration camp as well as one in Nuremberg. I had no idea that Mein Kampf was banned in Germany, along with other Nazi propaganda, until then.
While mildly shocked at this bit of information, it is understandable why the ban might have been put into place. I think it is up to the German citizens to decide what to do about it. The information is out there if someone really wants to read/view it.
I’d be interested to know if there has been a recent case where someone was prosecuted for accessing it. Here in the US, each state has many laws that are still on the books for outlandish reasons that no longer apply.
From what I understand, the whole Nazi regime is still a sensitive subject in Germany. It would be interesting to know what is taught in their history classes.
