Paolo Berlusconi’s newspaper offers Mein Kampf for free

An edition of Mein Kampf (My Struggle) by Adolf Hilter

Adolf Hilter’s manifesto of Nazism, Mein Kampf, is being offered for free by an Italian newspaper, belonging to the brother of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

The daily Il Giornale originally belonged to Silvio until he had to hand it over to his brother, Paolo, after a 1990 law prohibited ownership of newspapers and television channels simultaneously.

In a Saturday edition, the daily released an annotated version of the book, an autobiography by the Nazi leader highlighting his political ideology and future plans for Germany.

The move was faced by criticism from Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, calling it “squalid” in a tweet.

The paper's editor-in-chief Alessandro Sallusti defended the move in an editorial, saying it was not meant as a support for Nazism.

"Study what is evil to avoid its return," he argued instead.

The book is given for free to anyone who buys the first volume of an eight-volume history of the Third Reich.
