I can't avoid the feeling that the banning of Mein Kampf is only due to its author being who he was. Had the book been written by anyone else, it wouldn't have beeb banned anywhere. I haven't read it, though.

And of course, had he won the war, it wouldn't be banned either, but that's another matter.

This goes to say that I don't see it clear that it is good to ban it. A book should be judged (if anything) by what it says, not by who wrote it.
