2 people are accused of playing Hitler speeches on train loudspeakers in Austria — once while a Holocaust survivor was on board, a local politician says

• Two people are accused of playing Hitler speeches over an Austrian train's loudspeakers.
• Train staff could not stop the recordings from blasting throughout the train.

Two people have been accused of blasting Hitler speeches on train loudspeakers in Austria several times on Sunday — once while a Holocaust survivor was on board, a local politican told BBC News.

David Stoegmueller, a Green Party MP, told BBC News that passengers heard the recordings just as the train was pulling into Vienna.

"We heard two episodes," Stoegmueller, told the BBC. "First there was 30 seconds of a Hitler speech, and then I heard 'Sieg Heil'."

Stoegmueller said staff on the train could not stop the recordings as they were playing, and that one crew member "was really upset," according to the BBC.

One woman on the train at the time had survived a concentration camp, Stoegmueller told the BBC.

"She was crying" while the recordings played, he told the BBC.

Two people, whose identities have not been revealed, have since been charged for the incident after authorities reviewed footage from the train's cameras, the AP reported.

In Austria, spreading Nazi propaganda is a crime.

It's not clear if the suspects were train employees, but according to Austrian news outlet APA, they opened the intercom cabin using a key that all employees have, the AP reported.
