When a person gives, he needs to take, Adolf Hitler once said, and I take what I need from books. Hitler was a voracious reader. By the time of his suicide in April 1945, he owned an estimated 16,000 volumes in 3 private libraries, at the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, at his Prinzregentenplatz apartment in Munich, and at the Berghof, his alpine retreat on the Obersalzberg. His private secretary, Traudl Junge, once told me that she remembered Hitler reading a book a night, which he invariably and tediously reprised for her the following morning at breakfast. Books, always more books! I can never remember Adolf without books, a Hitler associate from his teenage years recalled. They were his world.

There was no book more central to Hitlers life and identity than Mein Kampf. There is no event more central to his legacy than the Holocaust. For these reasons, this volume represents a welcome and important addition to the vast literature on the former Nazi leader and the Holocaust, in particular. While Mein Kampf is often discussed as a self-serving and unreliable autobiography or an impossibly ponderous and impenetrable political manifesto, and frequently referenced as a source for understanding the nature of Hitlers anti-Semitism, this volume represents the first systematic examination of Mein Kampf with specific focus on the Holocaust.

The editors, John J. Michalczyk, Michael S. Bryant, and Susan A. Michalczyk, have enlisted an impressive range of scholars and researchers, indeed some of the worlds leading authorities on Mein Kampf, to consider the origins, sources, impacts, and implications of this infamous treatise, from the nineteenth century to our own day. Through the individual chapters we come to understand the place of Mein Kampf not only within the personal life and career of its author but equally important within the broader context of German society. The contributors trace the origins of European racial theories more broadly and examine how these theories found their most extreme expression in Hitlers words and policies. These chapters help illuminate Hitlers personal manifesto, a work that can be as impenetrable as it is repulsive, with the advantage of allowing one to explore Mein Kampf without subjecting oneself to the punishing experience of reading the original.

As a collective effort of many individuals, our text reflects not only the ideas and extensive scholarship of our contributors but also the work of other individuals who understood the importance of coming to terms with the evolution of Hitlers mindset in the early 1920s as a prelude to the Holocaust. In hosting the Boston College conference at which our contributors offered a lecture and an interview for our accompanying documentary on the subject, Boston College, Bryant University, and Brandeis University provided funding for both travel and lodging. Monetta Edwards of the Carroll School of Management assisted significantly with financial details at Boston College, while Michael Bryant of Bryant University and Sabine von Mering did the same for their part of the sponsorship. To document the conference Robert Heim filmed the interviews while Michael Resler and Susan Michalczyk conducted them for our companion documentary,
