## Resource

The building where Adolf Hitler was born in Austria has been turned into a police station — a bold move by the Austrian government to erase its Nazi symbolism and prevent it from becoming a neo-Nazi pilgrimage site. While the structure had little visible connection to Hitler before, officials now emphasize that the modern police force stands for democracy and the rule of law, directly opposing Hitler’s legacy. Critics, including the Mauthausen Committee, argue the conversion downplays history and may even encourage forgetting. Hitler’s reign led to the Holocaust and WWII, claiming millions of lives — a stain on history that demands more than just architectural erasure.
