Nuernberg




Here we wanted to see the place where Hitler stood to give his famous speeches. It was a very eery feeling, knowing one of the most evil men in history stood here and
successfully 'conned' /scared so many into believing in his cause. He must have been ver
y charismatic indeed. I also wanted to see Albrecht Duerers house, which is inside the very thick walls of the old city. I have a replica of his famous praying hands in my kitchen. Albrech drew the hands of his brother, who sacrificed his own career as an artist to work in the mines and pay for Albrechts tuition.

Nuremberg also has some other amazing architecture.
