# Police station opens at Hitler's birthplace to remove Nazi stigma

A police station has opened at the house where Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria. The move is part of a long-standing effort to prevent the site from becoming a neo-Nazi pilgrimage destination. By repurposing the building for official use, authorities aim to strip it of its historical association with the Nazi regime.
