Two streets of Adolf Hitler’s hometown in Austria should be renamed the many years of complaints they celebrate the Nazis, officials say.
According to local media, the Braunau AM Inn Council decided on Wednesday after the “secret voting”. Following the reports ordered by local self -government, which concluded that preserving the names was unconstitutional.
The streets are named after composer Joseph Reiter and entertainer Franz Relas, both of which were members of the Nazi Party.
About 200 households will receive a new address after changing the names.
The Austrian government has long been criticized by historians for recognizing his participation in World War II, and, in particular, for his positioning as a sacrifice, not a participant.
The Committee, which controls the renaming of the streets, was made as a “decision with a symbolic meaning”, which oversees Mahausen concentration camps in northern Austria, where at least 90,000 prisoners were killed in 1938-1945.
The chairman of the Willi Committee, Mernie, told the local media that they “worked a lot on it” and thanked everyone who supported them.
Robert Eiter, a member of the Committee, added that they suggested that the names would be changed to honoring the Austrians who actively opposed the Nazis, former deputy mayor Leo Olcak, whose father died in Mautausen, and Maria Stromberger, who joined resistance, working as a head.
Many Austria streets have already been renamed from their Nazi associations, including one honoring Ferdinand Porsche, founder of Luxury Car, in Linz – but 80 years after the war, others are still still left.
About 65,000 Austrian Jews were killed in the Holocaust during World War II, when the Nazi Party, led by Adolf Hitler, worked on eradicating the Jewish population of Europe, as well as the Slavic and Gypsy population.
During the war, the Nazi regime systematically killed more than six million Jewish people.
