Hitler's Birthplace Transformed Into Austrian Police Station

Hitler's Birthplace Transformed Into Austrian Police Station

The house where Adolf Hitler was born in Austria has been turned into a police station.

The Austrian government wanted to do this to stop people who support Nazi ideas from visiting the place.

Before, the house was used by a charity for people with disabilities.

Now, it has a sign that says 'Police' and a rock outside that says 'Never again fascism.'

Some people think this is a good idea because it stops the house from being a symbol of Hitler.

Others, like groups that remember the Holocaust, think more should be done to remind people about Hitler's crimes.

Most local people support the change, but some would have preferred the charity to stay.
