Thread Name: Have anti-war songs changed anything?
Subject: RE: Have anti-war songs changed anything?
quote: "If ever I have the power," Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf, " then, with no considerations of humanity or sympathy or pity, I will make it my business to kill every Jew in the world". It's all there, in black·n·white, in German script originally of course.

Can you provide a link to this, Michael? Or at least provide the chapter number? I can't find anything remotely like it in an online English translation of Mein Kampf with Ctrl-F text search. Lots about Jews, but nothing advocating violence against them. Only 7 occurrences of the word "kill," none of them suggesting that anyone should kill anyone else.

Are you saying the passage is not in any English translation, and maybe not even in any published German version but only the original handwritten script? If so, how do you know that?

Not that it matters much, since Hitler certainly did commit extreme violence against Jews in the end, regardless of what he wrote in prison, but I'm wondering about the reliability of your information.
