Past, Present, and the Peculiar

The cobbled streets of Nuremberg in Germany are haunted by dark shadows.

It's Nazi territory where local Jews were murdered during the Kristallnacht, also known as the "Night of Broken Glass". Several hundred Jews were arrested and sent to Dachau concentration camp to perish. The Nazi Party Rally Grounds was the actual location where the Nazis held their propaganda rallies.

But Nuremberg is also where justice caught up with the Nazis during the famous trials. You can learn about the city's dark past at two iconic city museums-Court-room 600 and the Nazi Party Rally Grounds. Between November 1945 and October 1946, the hallowed 'Courtroom 600' hosted the Nuremberg trials or the 'trial of the century'.
