He Candelaria Town Hall proceeded today, just as International Book Day is celebrated, to remove the poster for the book ‘Mein Kampf’ (The Struggle) from Adolph Hitlergiven the discomfort generated among the neighbors through social networks, considering it inappropriate.
From the consistory it is indicated that the reason for the exhibition, called ‘Literature Essentials’, in the Rambla de Los Menceyes, which, like others dedicated to music or sports, lasts three months (from last day 17 to 17 July), has no other reason than to remember the literary titles that “changed the world”, and thus they point out that the Bible or the Koran are also found in that open-air exhibition, in addition to recognized bestseller.
The exhibition has been prepared, they indicate from the City Council, by municipal Culture technicians, the same ones who yesterday proceeded to remove the panel dedicated to Hitler’s book, in the face of the rain of criticism received, in addition to remembering that this panel was next to the Diario of Anne Frank, one of the most recognized victims of Nazism.
Essentials of Literature
The information offered on this exhibition of Essentials of Literature reads as follows: “The history of literature has generated countless works that survive the passing of centuries in our collective memory. It is impossible to objectively choose the most important pieces that the passage of time has left us, but this collection aims to bring some of the most popular, awarded and recognized publications closer to our day-to-day life. These literary icons, from the Bible to the present day, through all genres and styles, come to our streets to surround us with art, generate debate and provide knowledge to neighbors and visitors.
