Hitler's house will be turned into the Holocaust museum

The house in Braunau am Inn (Upper Austria), where Adolf Hitler, dictator of Nazi Germany, spent his childhood, may be a historical museum of victims of the Holocaust and crimes against humanity committed by the Nazi regime. This decision was made by the authorities of the Austrian city of Braunau am Inn, ee24.com reports citing The Local.

The idea, proposed by Andreas Maislinger, an Austrian historian and founder of the Austrian Holocaust Memorial Service, is supported by the public. Austrian Interior Ministry will make the final decision, it's expected to approve the project by the end of 2014.

Now the house is owned by an unknown pensioner who make good money on rent: €4,000 per month is paid Austrian government. In her house, no one was living because of "bad history", and the area temporarily was used as a bank, a library and a school for the mentally retarded. Authorities fear that if it makes a residential house, there will be meetings of the neo-Nazis.

The ee24.com portal reported that the house, where Adolf Hitler was born in 1889, can be used as a language school and support center of migrants.
