Publishers won’t hold publicity campaign for translation of Hitler’s 1925 book and have set a high price to ensure it isn’t widely accessible
An 'academic' edition of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf is being published in Poland this week for the first time, with its editor responding to critics by calling it “a homage to the victims.” ... The company will not be carrying out any publicity campaign for the book and the price of 150 zloty (33 euros, $40) is high for Poland.

What's the idea here? Poor people should not be as able to buy the book as those with some extra cash? Poor people might be more likely to be fascists or Nazi admirers? How insulting and elitist is that?
The Polish academic edition of Adolf Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' (L) is seen next to an original edition of the book from 1942 (R)
