The building where Adolf Hitler was born, in Austria, is opening as a police station after decades of debate. Authorities say the move aims to stop neo-Nazis from using the house as a site of pilgrima
Turning it into a police station seems like a clever way to strip the place of any "glamour" for those pilgrims. Definitely beats just leaving it empty or tearing it down. Do you think this will actually deter people, or just give them a new reason to show up? Curious to hear if others think this is the right move.
