Want a signed copy of Mein Kampf?

Yes, an edition of Mein Kampf signed by Adolf Hitler is up for auction and expected to sell for more than $20,000.

Quote
Adolph Hitler's Mein Kampf is considered one of the most racist and heinous screeds in modern history, but an auctioneer says two rare, early editions signed by Hitler could sell Thursday for more than $20,000 at an online auction.

Nate Sanders, owner of Nate D. Sanders Auctions in Los Angeles, said Hitler gave the books to Josef Bauer, an early follower who participated in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch in Munich.

...

Sanders is also auctioning off a leather trench coat he said was worn by Albert Speer, a Nazi government minister who took responsibility for the Holocaust at the Nuremberg trials and was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the Nazi regime.

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Is it wrong that I would probably like a signed copy of this just to say I own it?

I'd be glad to own it.  Although, if they're looking for $20,000 I'd have to offer a post-dated check.

Huh...a few interesting mementos of history, eh?  I think I'll pass.  While it'd be cool to have something of actual history in my possession, I haven't the $20,000 to blow and it'd make people think bad things about me because some people are stupid like that.

I don't think so.  I'd like to have it too, but I collect weird stuff anyway.  Way too steep for my pockets though.  Like Rav, I could think of better things to spend the same amount on.

Same.  I don't see any reason why I should own one.

Burn it, otherwise the Nazi enthusiast will flock to it.
I disagree and I am willing to take that risk. It is the darker bits of our history that need special protection or we might forget about the mistakes of past and make them again.

The phrase is: "IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!"

To which the response is: "So do you."

As noted on Fark, it sold.  For $64,850.
