North Korea Rejects Report Claiming That Kim Jong-un Distributed Copies of Mein Kampf
Claim made by defectors
North Korea has blasted a report that its leader, Kim Jong-un, gave out copies of Adolf Hitler's memoir Mein Kampf to officials on his birthday.
The report, from a news website run by North Korean defectors, said that senior officials were given the book as a gift in January.
North Korea has denounced the defectors as "human scum" and threatened to kill them.
Nazi leader Adolf Hitler wrote Mein Kampf in 1924 while in prison.
