Newspaper witness project: reprints of Nazi newspapers available at newsstands
Nazi publications are once again available at newsstands in Germany. The magazine *Zeitungszeugen* includes loose inserts of original reprints from the *Völkischer Beobachter*, Joseph Goebbels« propaganda paper *Angriff*, and the Nazi publication *Der Reichstag in Flammen*.
Nazi newspapers are back on newsstands in Germany. The free newspaper News reported on Monday that original copies of the "Völkischer Beobachter", Joseph Goebbels' propaganda sheet "Angriff" and the Nazi pamphlet "Der Reichstag in Flammen" have been loosely enclosed with the magazine Zeitungszeugen. 50 issues of the magazine are to be published in nine European countries, including Switzerland, by the end of the year.
For the English publisher Pete McGee, the educational value of the project takes precedence over the danger that neo-Nazis could misuse the texts for their own purposes. Stefan Kramer, Secretary General of the Central Council of Jews, takes a different view. According to the "Hitler sells" method, the magazine gives priority to commercial interests over well-founded education.
The Free State of Bavaria is censoring the literature project and has already confiscated around 2,500 copies, according to the news. Nevertheless, the publisher is said to have already sold 250,000 magazines.
