Our Nürnberg guide, Alma, was not only extremely knowledgeable, she was friendly and totally lovable. She told us how her generation was never taught about the Holocaust in school, even though Nürnberg was the center of so many Nazi activities, not to mention the Nürnberg trials after the war. But, she added, that's all changed and she's very happy about that. She was obviously proud of the fact that Nürnberg calls itself the city of peace; she said they are proud of their minority and immigrant population -- about 16%. Our tour with her ended at the Dokumentation Centre, a fascinating Holocaust museum that just opened in 2001.
