The two streets in the hometown of Adolf Hitler in Austria said they will change their name due to the long complaint of commemorating the Nazis.
According to local media, the BRAUNAU AM INN board made a decision on Wednesday after “secret voting.” It was unconstitutional to maintain a name following the report commissioned by the local government.
The distance was named after the composer Josef Reiter and the celebrity Franz Resl.
After the name is changed, about 200 households get a new address.
The Austrian government has long been criticized by historians in World War II, especially how to recognize the position as a victim, not participants.
The change in the distance name of the Mauthausen Committe was welcomed as “a symbolic decision.” Between 1938 and 1945, at least 90,000 prisoners were killed by the Nazis at the Mauthausen Constration Camp in northern Austria.
The chairman of the committee, Willi Mernyi, said in the local media, “I worked hard for this work,” and thanked everyone who supported them.
Committee member Robert Eiter is an Austrian who actively opposes LEA OLCZAK, a former deputy director of Maria Stromberger, who worked at the former deputy director LEA OLCZAK and Poland Auschwitz ConseFation camp where his father died in Mauthausen. He added that the name was changed.
Many Austrian streets have already been renamed from LINZ City to the Nazi Association in honor of Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of luxury automakers, but still remain 80 years after the war.
When Nazi Party, led by Adolf Hitler, tried to eradicate not only Slav and Roman population but also European Jewish population, about 65,000 Austrian Jews died in the Holocaust of World War II.
During the war, the Nazi regime systematically killed more than 6 million Jews.
