Yes. Why not? Let it be read, discussed, and cussed.

I wouldn't go so far as to say they should read it - it's not exactly great literature - but they should certainly be free to read it if they wish. The implicit fear here (in banning it) is that if they read it they'll be converted to Nazism (again). And why would they want to take over Europe when they've already taken it over?
