Adolf Hitler stays honorary citizen of Dietramszell

17 December 2013 by Jan Huisman in News - No Comments

Last week, the cancellation of the honorary citizenships was thwarted already by the opposition. Holocaust survivors are taken aback by the city council’s decision, that argues that history cannot be undone: To withdraw the honorary citizenships would be a falsification of historical facts.
