Abstract

In short, the collection offers summaries of scholarship about the murderous antisemitism and racism that Hitler expressed in I Mein Kampf. i That is not a new finding. Nathan Stoltzfus and J. Ryan Stackhouse demonstrate that Hitler in I Mein Kampf i "positioned Nazi terror as legitimate self-defense" especially in response to Communists and Socialists. Michalczyk writes that 'what began with Hitler's utopian vision in I Mein Kampf i of creating a Huxleyan brave new Aryan world turned into a dystopian world of death and destruction in the Shoah' (p. 111).
