Nurnberg

Documentation Center

The National Socialists made Nuremberg the city of the Nazi party rallies. The Document Center occupies the north wing of the unfinished Congress hall on the grounds of the Nazi party rally ground. There is a permanent exhibition, Fascination and Terror. The focus of 19 exhibits deals with the causes ,context and consequences of the Nazi party. The Nazi Party Rallies were used as mass demonstrations for propaganda. Everything is in German but you are given an audio player in English that coordinate with the pictures and videos of each exhibit. A stunning job of putting it all together. We then went outside to walk around the lake and the Nazi Party Rally grounds.  It is impossible to show in pictures the true hugeness of this place.

Today there are more Media outlets that can be used for the same purpose.
