The publishers of a book containing Adolf Hitler speeches were
cleared of hate-crime charges in the Czech Republic, spurring concerns
from the country's Jewish community. The Brno municipal court ruled
Wednesday that it found no evidence that the 2012 book put out by a
Brno-based publishing house, Guidemedia, promoted Nazi ideology. The
court said the publication of historical documents cannot be considered a
criminal act. Under Czech law, propagating Nazism is a crime that
carries a maximum penalty of ten years in prison. The book features 18
speeches delivered by Hitler between 1939 and 1942.
