By the way, is there a translation of "Mein Kampf"
into Hebrew?

The closest I've found was via
http://worldcat.org/oclc/32340306 :

One of the most interesting queries I was given was by
a woman writing a Holocaust memoir. She gave me an
obscure name (I can't recall it, at the moment) and
said that she'd like to know if he was mentioned
during the Nuremberg Trials.

What should have been the first problem is that the
Jewish Public Library of Toronto's collection
development wasn't likely to get us the complete
Nuremberg Trial transcripts. As luck would have it,
earlier that year, someone donated several volumes to
the Holocaust Centre and the HC was donating all of
their books to the JPL.

The next obstacle was the fact that the transcripts
have neither a Table of Contents nor an Index. And I
wasn't about to search page by page for the name. ;)

Luckily, I discovered that the first 7 days' worth of
transcripts were keyword-searchable via a Harvard
University obnline project - see
http://nuremberg.law.harvard.edu/NurTranscript/TranscriptSearches/tran_searching.php

I simply did a keyword search, marked down the volume
& page number, went to the shelf and showed it to the
patron.

Some days I loathe modern technology ; other days, I
just LOVE it. :)

B'shalom,
