Hitler's Birthplace to be Torn Down

en.wikipedia.org...

This is intriguing in many ways. It appears that this building carried on, generally oblivious to it's brief importance in world history (Hitler's family moved when he was but a 3 year old...) until the early 1980s, when the mayor and city council tried to force the Birthplace Memorial Stone onto the building against the wishes of the owner. The stone, 6 years later, was installed directly in front of the building on public ground.

It really seems like this structure was not some form of neo-Nazi pilgrimage until the city forced that memorial there and drew attention to the building... creating the situation they now want to tear the building down to confront. Talk about government creating and exacerbating problems only to claim to have the only solutions to correct their own idiocy.

Knock it down, and turn it into an office of a charity trying to inspire unity between the regular people of Palestine, and the regular people of Israel!

That would be a fitting end for that building. The source of so much hate and anger, repurposed to heal wounds caused by the ripples, the after affects of the tyrants actions.

I say turn it into a museum ,not to enshrine the old dead Nazi , but as what could happen if you don't check demagogues in times of high stress.
