# Austria has opened a police station at Adolf Hitler’s birthplace in an effort to discourage neo-Nazi supporters from turning the site into a pilgrimage destination. This ends years of debate over how to deal with one of the country’s most contentious historical landmarks. The renovated building in Braunau am Inn, where Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, will house a police unit specializing in narcotics investigations, with authorities hoping it will deter extremist gatherings. Public displays of Nazi symbols are illegal in Austria.
