Hitlers Lies: An Answer To Hitlers Mein Kampf

by Irene Harand

First published in Vienna in 1935, Hitlers Lies by Irene Harand, is a challenge to the arguments, assumptions and actions of the German dictator, Adolf Hitler. The original German language version of the book was called Sein Kampf Antwort an Hitler von Irene Harand (His Struggle The Answer to Hitler from Irene Harand). In this book Harand explodes the myth of racial and national superiority. She deals with lies about the Jews which formed the basis for Hitlers propaganda, and attacks the persecution of the Jews on the ground that Anti-Semitism debases Christianity. In her own The ruthless force of the Nazis has been directed against the Jewish and Catholic minorities. Their main attack, however, has been launched against German Jewry, which has had to bear unspeakable torture and humiliation in the Third Reich. They foster and unleash hatred against the Jews and commit wholesale murder to maintain a power they have wrested from others. It, therefore, lies in the interest of truth to make public answer to the Nazi Bible, Mein Kampf, (Hitlers autobiography) and to ascertain whether the main doctrines of this book, upon which the Nazi political state is founded, can bear critical examination before the civilized world. As the first publishers of Mein Kampf in India, Jaico is proud to revive Harands work, which was largely forgotten since the 1950s in both her native Austria and her new homeland America.

Reviews

[Tamara · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you decide to browse through this book: read the 11th chapter.
That was genuinely a very sobering experience. This book came out in 1935 and I guess I just never thought about how much information, how many reports, were already available back then about the horrors of the nazi-ideology.

Overall despite it being 90 years old it's very easy to read, language wise. Very much meant to be read by a broad variety of everyday people, not written academically.

4.5/5*


*In regards to the times of its publication - very informative, appealing writing style.
If it were to be published today, my expectations would be different, I think.
