Following a 70-year ban in the Netherlands, Adolf Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' appeared in bookstores across the country in August, and has since become a bestseller.

According to reports, the Dutch translation titled 'Mijn Strijd,' has maintained third place in the country's best-selling books list. Yet, the books tardy release has also been met with a storm of controversy. Reportedly, newspaper Op-Ed writers and angry television pundits have swarmed the public space to decry the release of a book that they see as the ugly relic of a bygone era that is better off forgotten.

An ongoing debate has however, included more mild-mannered criticism.
