In front of Adolf Hitler’s birthplace (Salzburger Vorstadt 15, Braunau am Inn, Austria, the building where the first Führer of the Third Reich was born on April 20th, 1889) is a memorial stone called the Mahnstein, literally translated ‘Remembrance Stone’. It is a memorial to all the victims of the Nazi regime, although the monument itself refers to crimes (past or future) of all extreme right-wing organisations.
The stone for the memorial came from a quarry on the grounds of the former Mauthausen Concentration Camp, near Linz, Austria. The inscription on the memorial reads:
FÜR FRIEDEN FREIHEIT
UND DEMOKRATIE
NIE WIEDER FASCHISMUS
MILLIONEN TOTE MAHNEN
The translation is as follows: “For Peace, Freedom And Democracy. Never Again Fascism. So The Millions Of Dead Remind Us.”
