Convention area of the Nazi party
The temporarely ehibition (seeingly til 2025) shows how the Nazis came to power in Nurmeberg, in the county of Franken, in teh state of Bavaria and in Germany, when party conventions were conducted in Nuremberg, how the party convention was build. Afterwards you will see that the Nazis "built forever", but didn't finish building projects they started in the area like the big hall or never started to build. On the Zeppelin field you will see, that it was build to make a mass rally, to show greatness and power.
Courtroom 600, Nuremberg trials

The small exhibition shows the purpose of the trials and that the trial werde the first effort in human history to bring to justice war criminals by the wining states, the international cummunity.
Nuremberg, Jewish traces in the Old City
The memorial of the former central synagogue that stood there from the end of teh 19th century reminds us of the destruction of Jewish that started already in the 30th of the 20th century. But it was not the first time that that happened in Nuremberg. In the middle ages the synagogue was tron down and instead of it today's Chruch of Our Lady was build and the Jewish houses were removed from today's central market to have this market or square and also plave for the fruit market. To make things worse the Saint SEbaldus church depicts antisemtic art work on its outside and inside the court of the house of the minsiter at that Church we find a Jewish grave stone that was used for building. From Nuremberg castle you have a great view over the city, especially the old city.
