sorry for not being clear. I meant to ask has there been an "reply" to voice the falacies behind Hitler's book

I am not Jewish, but have read enough of Mein Kampf to get the gist of what the author was saying.
I think the main reason that none of the Jewish (or non-Jewish) writers I have read dignify "Mein Kampf " with any direct answer, is because it is full of contemptible arguments and assertions, many of which even Hitler himself surely wasn't crazy enough to believe! He said and wrote things for the propaganda effect, regarding the truth as irrelevant.
"Mein Kampf" as a whole shows Hitler as intellectually shallow, his strongest suit being his sometimes astute analyses of past European politics and war, with which he was obsessed. On the whole the book shows only he was confused, crazy and dishonest. That is why I think "Mein Kampf" is a historic curio that is absolutely unworthy of even this much comment, and I don't think many people would disagree.
An answer to "Mein Kampf"? I refer you to "The Book Of Proverbs": "Answer not a fool according to his own folly..."

Mein Kampf is to a great extent influenced by the frightful Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Hadassa Ben-Itto has written an extensive reply (documentary novel) to the Protocolls and described their effects on Hitler's ideology, exposing them (very detailled) to be a fake and showing the fatal consequences they entailed: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0853035954/sr=8-2/qid=1154953869/ref=sr_1_2/102-8419519-6532901?ie=UTF8
Apart from that, I agree that Mein Kampf does not deserve a direct reply.

Mein Kamph was not just about Jews. It was about his view of the history of Germany and his plan for Germany and the "Aryan" race. Try reading it sometime, learn something.

The answer to your question is exactly what John (Thurb) said.
