Austria turns Adolf Hilter’s home into police stationAFP, BRAUNAU AM INN, AustriaTurning the house where Adolf Hitler was born into a police station has raised mixed emotions in his Austrian hometown. “It’s a double-edged sword,” office assistant Sibylle Treiblmaier said outside the house in the town of Braunau am Inn on the border with Germany. People on Tuesday work to turn the birth house of Adolf Hitler in Braunau am Inn, Austria, into a police station. Austria has repeatedly been criticized in the past for not fully acknowledging its responsibility in the Holocaust. Last year, two streets in Braunau am Inn commemorating Nazis were renamed after years of complaints by activists.
