The streets of the city are named after close associates of the Fuhrer of the Third Reich.
The Association of the International Mauthausen Committee in Austria asked the authorities of the city of Braunau, where Adolf Hitler was born in 1889, to rename two streets named after the Nazis, as well as to deprive the honorary citizenship of a composer associated with the Fuhrer.
This was reported on Thursday, November 23, by the French publication le Parisien, citing AFP.
“It’s hard to believe that in Hitler’s hometown one of his close associates is still an honorary citizen!” – says the organization’s president, Willie Murney, in a statement.
We are talking about the composer Joseph Reiter (1862-1939), who is called “an ardent National Socialist close to the Fuhrer.”
The association also expressed its outrage that Reuther continued to be honored with a street name, as did another “fanatical Jew-hating agitator,” Franz Resl. The association called it “an insult to victims that must stop immediately.”
The Mauthausen Committee was a resistance network formed in the concentration camp of the same name in 1944. Survivors continue to stay in touch by organizing memorial ceremonies.
Let us remind you that in the Austrian town of Braunau, the house where Adolf Hitler was born will be turned into a police station, in which, in particular, human rights courses will be conducted for law enforcement officers.
