Re Mein Kampf: I doubt it, because: it's a document of historic importance rather than a popular novel; I very much doubt that Hitler or his relatives collect any royalties on it; all sane people agree it to be the ravings of a lunatic and hence fundamentally immoral and, to put it in modern terms, "problematic" to begin with. There's no sensible debate as to whether it's moral or not: it is printed because of its immorality. Also, I very strongly doubt that there were morality clauses when it was published.
Re Ursa's post, which the forum won't let me quote: it gives publishers the option to try to walk away from a contract. While it could end up in a lot of wasted time and expenditure for the parties, I don't think it would necessarily function as an automatic break in the publisher's favour. Local law could well make that more difficult. To be honest, if the publisher was to exercise such an option, I'd suspect that something had gone seriously wrong already.
