Turn it into a memorial to the millions of people, Jews and non-Jews, that he was responsible for killing, so that people never forget that the man born in that house was one of the most abhorrent and evil dictators in human history.  But keep the house standing as well.

I voted Option 1 by mistake.

This don't forget non-jewish victims either. I had relatives who weren't jewish who died, and they are just as important as anyone else!

What I mean is I agree, we need to make a memorial for Hitler's victims there, but make it about all his victims, not just about Anti-semitism like some in this thread have proposed. My relatives were not Jewish who died at his hands are just as important as that or them too, and non jewish victims should be recognized in said proposed memorial too. One thing that still sticks with me to this day is I went to the Holocaust museum in DC, and the tour guide asked the group can anyone tell me another victim group besides jewish people. And I answered non jewish slavs, and he just flat out said no, which is utter bs since I would be viewed as inferior subhuman trash by nazis. There isnt some massive primary victim group that dwarves the rest. They were about half of the holocaust victims and the largest single victim group of the holocaust and the most hated by the nazis, and a smaller share of the overall casualty count where there were more populous groups who fell victim if including that broader tally. But yeah all the victims deserve recognition under such a proposed memorial. Not just one group like some have proposed in here. No one group is more important than the other, especially when there were other groups who were similar in casualty count, goal of ending them, and level of brutality dealt by Nazis to them. Like for instance don't be forgetting the Romani people too, especially considering their current status.
