Nuernberg
Today we visited Nuernberg as part of the "Confronting Hitler, WWII & Bonhoeffer" class. We went to the Nazi History Museum, then wandered around old downtown Nuernberg. It was a fun & interesting field trip.
Nuernberg used to be the location of the National Socialist Head Quarters. They held their yearly Nazi rallies & propaganda video photo shoots here. They would use the best of the best Hitler Youth for filming & it was an honor to be requested to be involved. Here are some pictures from Nuernberg.
Many different items with Hitler on them: A cross-stitch, plate, painting, etc.
A picture of Jews being deported on railroad cars
The Nuernberg trials persecuting the leaders of the Nazis and Concentration camps
The main 22 people on trial: 12 sentenced to death, 3 life time prison, 3 long time prison sentence, and 3 acquitted, not sure about the last person
A broken up Hitler Head Statue, and a Nazi Cup

In the Museum, they have this monument, it is lit up railroad tracks, and pieces of paper with a name of a Holocaust Victim. Each name represents 100 or 100,000 Holocaust Victims. They made the monument as part of the Railroad tracks because the Railroads were such a crucial part of the Nazis' Final Solution, eliminating inferior races, Jews, Polish Jews, Gypsies, etc.
Here is a close up of some of the names
