Austria’s Interior Ministry says the government has drawn up a draft law that would dispossess the owner of the house where Adolf Hitler was born. Tuesday’s July 12, 2016 move follows steadfast refusal by house owner Gerlinde Pommer to sell the empty building in the town of Braunau am Inn on the German border. The government has sought ownership so it can take measures to lessen its attraction as a shrine for the Nazi dictator’s admirers. (AP Photo / Kerstin Joensson,file) (AP)
