It is not. Consuming it is absolutely legal. It is even in our constitution that the state does not censor.
What is illegal is "making" (for lack or a better word) hate speech and inciting violence.
Example: You can buy Hitler's "Mein Kampf" since 2015. Before that it wasn't possible just because Bavaria held the rights after Hitler's death and refused to publish uncommented full versions. Since books enter the free domain 70 years after the author's death, Mein Kampf entered it in 2015.
