The Mein Kampf

*Mein Kampf* is a book written by Adolf Hitler that combines his autobiography with his political ideology. Published in 1925, it outlines his beliefs in German nationalism, anti-Semitism, and the importance of racial purity. Hitler advocates for the expansion of German territory and the rejection of what he saw as threats to German identity. The book became a blueprint for Nazi policies and atrocities during World War II. It is widely condemned for its hateful and racist content, and it is studied primarily to understand the origins of Nazi ideology and the factors that led to the Holocaust.
