Who is Afraid of Hitler’s Town? A House and the Past Within Us

Why has no film ever been made in Austria about Hitler's place of birth? Director Günter Schwaiger asked himself this very question when he began working on this film project in 2018, shortly before the house was expropriated by the Republic of Austria. For five years, the director accompanied the exciting developments surrounding the subsequent use of Hitler's birthplace with a very personal view. From questioning the cliché of the "Nazi city" to surprising and outrageous discoveries, his path ultimately leads to his own family history.
