Mein Kampf in Arabic

Mein Kampf (English: My Struggle, Arabic: كفاحي‎ kifāḥī), Adolf Hitler's 900-page autobiography outlining his political views, has been translated into Arabic a number of times since the early 1930s.

Translations

Translations between 1934 and 1937

The first attempts to translate Mein Kampf into Arabic were extracts in various Arab newspapers in the early 1930s. Journalist and Arab nationalist Yunus al-Sabawi published translated extracts in the Baghdadi newspaper al-Alam al-Arabi, alarming the Baghdadi Jewish community. Lebanese newspaper al-Nida also separately published extractions in 1934. The German consulate denied it had been in touch with al-Nida for these initial translations.

Whether a translation published by the Nazi regime would be allowed, ultimately depended on Hitler.Fritz Grobba, the German ambassador to the Kingdom of Iraq, played a key role in urging the translation. The largest issue was the book's racism. Grobba suggested modifying the text "in ways that correspond to the sensitivities of the race conscious Arabs", such as changing "anti-Semitic" to "anti-Jewish", "bastardized" to "dark" and toning down arguments for the supremacy of the "Aryan race".

3MBS

3MBS was the first FM (frequency modulation) radio station in Victoria, Australia, and began transmitting to Melbourne and surrounding areas on 1 July 1975. Since then it has operated successfully as a non-profit community-based organisation broadcasting classical and jazz music. 3MBS also led the way for the introduction of community radio in Australia back in 1968.

It is a part of the national Australian Fine Music Network.

History

The increasing popularity of rock music through the late '50s and '60s led to a reduction in the amount of classical music played on the ABC and commercial radio stations in Australia. Up until the early 1950s most radio stations employed orchestras to play music which included classical music. By the 1960s, only the ABC supported its own orchestra. But even the ABC had dramatically reduced the amount of classical music on air.

A music fan and radio engineer, Brian Cabena, was unhappy about being unable to listen to the music he liked on the radio - and he did something about it. After much unsuccessful lobbying of radio stations, he turned his attention to the government. He argued that if the existing stations were not willing to program for classical music fans, the government should license new stations that would.

5MBS

5MBS is a community radio station in Adelaide. 5MBS covers much of the Adelaide metropolitan area.

4MBS

4MBS Classic FM is an Australian community radio station that broadcasts classical music, jazz and nostalgia from Brisbane at a frequency of 103.7 MHz and on digital radio and online.

Operations

Its operations are conducted by about 300 volunteers and a small number of paid staff. Operational funding is principally derived from commercial sponsorship, listener subscriptions, a ticketing service, occasional sales of second-hand LPs, and an annual classical music festival.

4MBS Classic FM has a loose affiliation with a number of similar independently owned and operated stations in other parts of Australia, including 2MBS Sydney, 3MBS Melbourne, 5MBS Adelaide and ArtSound FM Canberra.

History

The station first went to air on 1 March 1979 at 10.30am from a small area rented from the Queensland University of Technology’s Kelvin Grove campus with Handel's Ode for St. Cecilia's Day. In 1994 it was moved to a large house in the suburb of Coorparoo. In later years, a 70 seat performance studio was built next to the house. The transmitter is located on Mount Coot-tha.
