Nuremberg

Today we visited Nuremberg as a class. We went to the Nazi History Museum, then wandered around old downtown Nuremberg. It was a fun day. It was the Nazi Head Quarters. They held their yearly Nazi propaganda video photo shoots here. They would use the best of the best Hitler Youth for filming the propaganda. It was an honor to be requested to be in the propaganda films. Here are some pictures from Nuremberg.
Many different items with Hitler on them: A cross-stitch, plate, painting, etc.

The Nuremberg 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

Me, with the Nazi Congress Hall in the Background

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
