flag Austria has converted Adolf Hitler’s birthplace in Braunau am Inn into a police station, with officers set to move in during the second quarter of 2026. flag The government, which took control in 2016, spent €20 million on renovations to prevent the site from becoming a far-right gathering place. flag While some support the move for its practical and symbolic rejection of Nazism, others criticize it for potentially legitimizing the site and argue it could have been used for education or peace-building. flag A memorial stone reads, “For Peace, Freedom and Democracy. flag Never Again Fascism. flag Millions of Dead Warn.” The decision reflects ongoing national debates over Austria’s Holocaust legacy and rising far-right sentiment.
