39 Hitler Relatives Found

I can't decide if this is for real, but the story says (via the Sydney Morning Herald), that someone has traced 39 living relatives of Adolph Hitler.

Personally, I'm a little troubled by the idea that Hitler's "blood" needs to be purged from the earth. Sounds sort of like a Final Solution to me. When will we figure out that genetic inheritance is not a moral category?

It seems like a natural extension of the "soft-eugenics" movement that already advocates that people with chronic diseases should not have children.

sounds slightly like a joke-article to me, somehow...Keeping Hitler's DNA in a sealed steel chest??? But I don't know, maybe Austrians are just naturally over-dramatic. ;-P
