Nuremberg - Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds

On Saturday, May 11th, we drove to Nuremberg with Elder and Sister Davis.  It was a rainy day so it was a good day to visit a museum.  The museum explained the rise of the Nazi Party and Adolph Hitler.  This is a huge venue.  It is where the Nazi Party held their spring rallies.  The size is impressive, but the story is incredible.

Nuremberg is about a 2 hour drive from Frankfurt.  We arrived at the museum, parked at this massive building and went inside.  When we arrived it was lunch time so we had a snack at the museum, purchased our audio guide and tickets and began our tour.  All the exhibits were numbered and when you keyed that number into the audio guide, the exhibit was explained.  The tour of German history from about 1923 to the end of WWII was fascinating but also very sobering.  It was interesting that many people didn't understand or couldn't see what was happening to their country until it was too late.

After about 3 hours we finished our tour.  We all agreed that we would need to come some day and visit the court room where the Nuremberg trials occurred and see the rest of the town.
