Niagara Regional Chair Bob Gale has abruptly resigned, just hours after anti-racism groups in Niagara demanded he apologize for owning a signed copy of Adolf Hitler’s infamous manifesto Mein Kampf, which outlined the Nazi leader’s racist and anti-Semitic world views before he oversaw mass murder including the killing of six million Jewish people during the Second World War.
