How do they 'depoliticise' this?

Austria are planning on seizing the birthplace of Hitler in order to depoliticise it.
This strikes me as problematic as whatever they turn it into will still be the place that Hitler was born and Neo-Nazi towns will still have a place to go.

How should they deal with it?
I propose a massive concrete dildo with Hitler's face on the head. (but enough about my private life).

Make it a memorial museum to the 20 million or so people killed as a result of his politics - with special emphasis on the ones who are rarely remembered anywhere else… the German and Austrian civilians and military conscripts who were also directly the victims, especially towards the end of the war. That might bring it a bit closer to home for any idiots who still think he was a good thing.

The bit at the end is great for those who've never heard of him! Hitler; A BBC potted history

"Adolf Hitler lived on the street Salzburger Vorstadt for only a few weeks before his family moved to another address in Braunau. They left the town for good when Hitler was three years old.

Hitler went on to rule Nazi Germany from 1933 until his death at the end of World War Two in 1945.

His regime was responsible for the deaths of millions of people."

Yep. There were so many that the Final Solution targeted that are rarely mentioned, alongside the conscripts and civilians. It was so much more than is usually discussed. The sterilisation of vast numbers, and planned continuation of even more isn't often referred to, for example.
