Nurnberg

Our Monday was very busy. We spent the day with our guide Ruth Hapke. She's from Minnesota and has lived in Nurenburg for the past 40 years. We used several forms of public transportation.... tram, bus, and subway. Today was the day for visiting churches. We saw St. Lorenz church, the Glockenspiel at noon, St Maria, which was a convent for a time. We also saw the St. Sebold church.

We then spent a lot of time at the Dokumentation center, where Hitler's troops did their parading and the yearly reich gatherings were held for several years. When the museum was built, a space was left between the floor and the building and also between the pictures and the wall to signify separation from the Nazi regime.

Next was the Hall of Justice, Room 600, where the Nurenburg trial was held.

We also had some of the local food, like bratwurst, schnitzel, and of course beer. (Written by Joanne Fritz)
