DISINFO: Poland whitewashes Hitler by allowing the publication of “Mein Kampf”
SUMMARY
The statement of the publishers of the “Mein Kampf. Critical Edition” about the low number of copies of this book is a marketing trick, encouraging people to a quick buy. They want to put as many “Mein Kampf” books on the Poles' tables as possible. After several decades of brainwashing of the Poles, whitewashing of the Nazi crimes and defamation of the USSR, the Polish society became prepared for the publication of this book.
In Poland, they implement a well-planned action of whitewashing Hitler and his Army’s actions. The legal publishing of this book in Poland and Germany means that such phenomena as Fascism and Nazism are not dying but only wait for their time to come.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative casting Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic States as countries that do not respect the history of WWII and its heroes (often, accusing them of supporting the Nazi ideology).
In January 2021, a large Polish publishing house “Bellona” published the book “Mein Kampf. Critical Edition”. This book was written and translated by a Polish historian and political scientist Dr Eugeniusz Król, a specialist on the history of National-Socialist propaganda in Germany. The book presents a scientific overview of the ''Mein Kampf'', containing its Polish translation with numerous historical comments. According to the words of Dr Król, at the present moment, the book is a warning to next generations about the risk of a quick dismantling of a democratic system and the emergence of totalitarianism, as it happened in Germany in the 1930s. The editors and the author of the book underline the anti-Nazi and anti-totalitarian character of their publication. In other words, the publication of the Critical Edition of the ''Mein Kampf'' in Poland has purely scientific, historical and anti-Nazi character.
