Germany - legal threat to stop Hitler memoir extracts "The Unreadable Book".

Published on Jan 21, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.net/ A British publisher is controversially planning to publish excerpts of Hitler's memoir "Mein Kampf" in Germany, along with a critical commentary.

But the state of Bavaria, which holds the copyright, is threatening legal action to prevent publication of "The Unreadable Book".

"It's not like the German perspective. The British perspective would be... if this is something you don't like, you don't hide it and hope it goes away, you confront it, you discuss it, you criticise it," said Peter McGee, Head of Albertas Ltd, the publisher.
