Hitler’s birthplace plans week of ‘decadent’ dancing
mainThe town of Linz is planning a September focus on some of the art that was banned by its most notorious son.
There will be an opera, Ulenspiegel, by Walter Braunfels, a concert of once-forbidden music, a reading from Ernst Krenek’s travel diaries and, most appealing, an exhibition of the dance music banned by the Nazis as being tainted by blacks and Jews. Swing was strictly verboten.
The Braunfels opera will be performed in a tobacco factory by the Israel Chamber Orchestra, conductor Martin Sieghart. Full info below.

Sorry Norman!
Hitler was NOT born in Linz, unfortunately Hitler was born in Braunau/Inn
Correct. But he regarded Linz as his home town and planned it as his memorial.
So why do you write then “Birthplace” and not “Hometown”? Confusing.
“Swing was strictly verboten”
Well, sort of, but not really. There was a lively underground swing scene and at some point, they even used it as propaganda vehicle:
