Tyrants' hometown reps to share ideas

Representatives from the birthplaces of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Josef Stalin will meet at the weekend in Austria to discuss the heritage of their towns, an organizer said Tuesday. Saturday's meeting in the town of Braunau in Upper Austria, where Hitler was born, will also draw representatives from Gori in Georgia - Stalin's birthplace - and Predappio, Mussolini's native town in Italy. Predappio's mayor Giorgio Frassineti said the towns should be "on the front line of democracy," despite remaining pilgrimage spots for neo-Nazis. Organizer Andreas Maislinger said he had a plan to convert the building where Hitler was born into a "House of Responsibility" where meetings and discussions can be held. © Copyright (c) The Windsor Star
