Liputan6.com, Vienna – The city government of Braunau am inn, Austria – the city of Adolf Hitler -Born – decided to change the name of the two ways, which, as it was believed, respected Nazi figures. This decision was made by a secret vote by the city council after an official report, which states that road names violated the constitution.
Quote Bi -bi -xOn Friday (4/7/2025), the two mentioned paths were previously named according to Joseph Reiter, composer, and Franz Relu, the artist of entertainment – all members of the Nazi party during the Second World War.
This change in the name will have a direct impact on about 200 households that will receive a new address. Despite the fact that it looks administrative, this step is of great symbolic significance, especially for Austria, which was criticized for the fact that she slowly recognized her role in the dark history of the Nazi.
This step was welcomed by the Mauthausen Committee, an organization that marks the victims of the Mautauzen concentration camp in Austria. In the period from 1938 to 1945, more than 90,000 prisoners were killed in the camp who was ruled by the Nazi regime.
“This is a very important solution symbolically. We have long struggled for this, ”said the local media, Willie Merney, the Chairman of the Committee, Willie Merney.
Colleagues -Committee, Robert Aiter, added that they proposed new names that will respect the Austrian figures against the Nazis, such as Lea Oltszak, the former deputy mayor, whose father died in the Mautauzen camp and Maria Stromberger, the head of the nurse, who secretly helped the resistance movement, working in the Aushvitz camp in Polia.
