Austria’s government agreed to expropriate the house in which Adolf Hitler was born to prevent neo-Nazis from using it as a pilgrimage site. Parliament is expected to decide what to do with the building later this year, according to an Interior Ministry spokesman. The ministry has been renting the house in the town of Braunau am Inn, a three-hour drive west of Vienna, since 1972. The fact that Hitler is so closely associated with the site “makes it unlike any other place in right-extremist culture,” a government-appointed commission wrote this year.
