   Adolf Hitler's birthplace to be Holohoax

   The birthplace of Adolf Hitler will be turned into a Holocaust   
   museum under a plan approved by Austria's government and the   
   owner of the building in a move aimed at ridding the structure   
   of its creepy allure to neo-Nazis.   
      
   The yellow home in the upper Austrian town will be dubbed the   
   "House of Responsibility" under the plan. The building has long   
   been the subject of controversy, with a plan announced in May to   
   make it a center for immigrants scuttled when politicians   
   continued to argue about the appropriate use for the home.   
   Another previous proposal to convert the building into housing   
   prompted concerns Hitler worshippers would move in.   
      
   The building has been used as a library, bank, high school and,   
   most recently, as a workshop for the mentally handicapped.   
   Hitler, who was born in the home on April 20, 1889, was the   
   leader of Germany’s Nazi Party whose Third Reich officials   
   carried out the murders of 6 million Jewish people during World   
   War II.   
      
   Under the new plan, proposed by Austrian historian Andreas   
   Maislinger, the building will be dedicated to depicting the   
   crimes against humanity committed by Hitler's Third Reich. The   
   plan has also been supported by movie producer Branko Lustig, of   
   "Schindler's List" fame.   
      
   Currently owned by Gerlinde Pommer, a retiree whose family has   
   owned it since 1912, the building has been rented to the   
   Austrian Interior Ministry since 1972. The Interior Ministry has   
   barred Hitler admirers from occupy space in the building, but   
   the owner has not let local officials mark the site with a   
   plaque warning of the evils of fascism.   
      
   A previous proposal to convert the house into a living space   
   sparked fears the building may fill with Hitler worshippers.   
   Suggestions to create an anti-Nazi memorial have also been   
   rejected. The final decision now rests with Austria's interior   
   ministry, which is expected to approve the project before the   
   end of the year.
