Should 'Mein Kampf' be taught in German schools?

Germany's Association of Teachers suggests that high school children should study annotated versions of Hitler's Nazi manifesto, to help "inoculate" against political extremism. The manifesto has not been printed in Germany since the end of the second world war, but a critical edition will be published next year. Ernst Dieter Rossmann - the Social Democratic Party's spokesman for Education and Science, and Dr Andreas Nachama - Director of the Topography of Terror Foundation in Berlin, discuss this sensitive question.
