Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Representatives from the birthplaces of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Josef Stalin will meet at the weekend in Austria to discuss the heritage of their towns, an organiser said Tuesday.
Saturday's meeting in the town of Branau in Upper Austria, where Hitler was born, will also draw representatives from Gori in Georgia - Stalin's birthplace - and Predappio, Mussolini's native town in Italy.
Predappio's mayor Giorgio Frassineti said the towns should be "on the frontline of democracy," despite remaining pilgrimage spots for neo-Nazis.
Organiser Andreas Maislinger said he had a plan to convert the building where Hitler was born - which had then been a small boarding house - into a "House of Responsibility" where meetings and discussions can be held.
