House Hitler was born in up for sale

[Buffett and Colbert]

In the name of art, the house should be given to a bunch of mute Neo-Nazis on the condition that they all become permanent Hitler impersonators and go about their daily lives articulating their hatred for the Jews solely through the medium of interpretive dance. The entire house and village would be wired with cameras, and Z-list celebrities and right-wing pundits would be kidnapped and forced by the Hitlers to perform humiliating tasks to avoid a squeaky death from being gassed using helium.

That would apply to a building that has some architectonical value, or which saw some historical event happening. The birth of a criminal isn't exactly an historical event. The place where those crimes happened is another thing - like, dunno, the Party Hall in Nuernberg, the place where the Wannsee conference was held, the extermination camps, the Reichskanzlerei bunker...

In the UK we have little blue plaques on buildings where famous people, good or bad, were born, lived or died. I don't see why this should be different.

A build-up of blue plaque? Now I think I understand why the Americans always make fun of British teeth.

I declare this to be win

I second this motion.

I think the best way would be to continue the usage as it is now. Helping disabled or mentally ill people there would not only be a kick to every neo-nazis face, but it would also be somewhat like an compensation for what happened to these groups. It would change ap lace where someone terrible was born into a place were people get help.
Why again is the house on sale and why can't the group using it now go on?

I would buy it. Then invite every WW2 vet I know to come and watch it burn, and then take the ashes and spread them in the deepest, darkest place I could find. I would then have the foundation of the home dismantled.

And his paintings would be bought and torn apart.

That would be a shame.
We should have historical buildings showing our darkest times, as well as our successes.

To be fair. This criminal was also one of the most enigmatic and controversial figures in human history. Not to mention seen as the most charismatic individual in modern history, or as the saying goes "the world has not seen in a 1,000 years, and the like of which the world shall not see for another 1,000 years." Somehow combining the dream of a provincial nobody rising to take the reins of power of a crushed nation and arguably turning it into one of the most powerful in the world again.

So I can perhaps understand that if there are plaques to the likes of the birthplaces of Jesse James, there might be raised eyebrows on why this individual gets the exception.

[Zeppy]

House and Hitler?

You mean Dr. Gregory House is trying to sale Hitler brain?

[H N Fiddlebottoms VIII]

In the vein of the Clinton statue built in Kosovo, the Hitler house should be burned down, and a statue of FDR should be built in its place. Then Walter Ulbricht's house should be burned down and replaced with a statue of Obama.

Indeed.

[Iceland-Thule]

They should turn the house into a Nazi pilgrimage site

[Jello Biafra]

I don't see why they shouldn't turn it into a tourist destination.

[Tkdkidsx2]

Just let 'em sell it. SO what if Nazi sympathizers worship there? As long as they don't go a make nukes there to kill all the Jews, who cares?

Forsooth.

[LOL ANARCHY NUBZ]

How cool would it be if it got haunted by the spirit of Baby Hitler?

[Gauthier]

Could you picture a standoff there involving an angry Rabbi with a bottle of sacramental wine threatening to consecrate the house if the Neo-Nazis don't drop their guns?

I had a sudden image while reading this of Baby Hitler being a character on the next Mario Kart game. Nothing to do with the thread, but since I'm a leftist (though not a prominent one ) I thought I'd share.

[Natapoc]

You could a lot of money if you bought it and made it into a museum or a hotel.

You could make a fortune off charging people to vandalise it.

Why pay when you can do it for free?

Edit: Imagine how much you could charge if you had nazies locked up inside? Let the nazis buy it... and lock them in!

[Maurepas]

I keep reading it as "Hitler House" like a themepark ride...I think they should go with it, with rollercoasters and everything,

I like this idea.

[Arumdaum]

Demolish it and place a whopping big war memorial to soviet forces in it's place.

Soviet forces? Not holocaust victims?

27 million Russians died in the war and holocaust. What about a memorial for everybody who died?

You know who else was an artist and lived in a house?

Van Gogh.

Damn it, I can't equate traits or facts about Hitler to Hitler and make it radical or funny, it's blatantly nonsensical.

Maybe they could put one in the backyard.
