Nuremberg and Nazis

Today we toured Nuremberg, and learned more about Nazis and their signature war.

Later we visited Room 600, where the Nuremberg trials were held.

Everywhere we go in Germany there are echoes of the war, grim reminders of what can happen when you let bad people run your country.
