My parents visited Germany for a month before the war. What's remarkable was that dad was a USAAC officer. He was welcome everywhere he went. He visited the newly opened terminal at Tempelhof and met counterparts in the German air force. At the time he was always dressed in civilian clothes. He did visit the American consulate. He loved anything German, having studied the language at West Point. I could go on, but for now that's all.

I visited this city after a last minute decision due to weather, but only for a couple hours. I didn't know of its history until a week later when in Berlin, its now on my list of cities to revisit with more open eyes.

Sir, I appreciate that you do not shy away from the dark corners of Europe's history/historical sites.

Thank you for your authenticity.

I love how nazis only build everything out of solid cements and gray textures

"...it finally arrived in our education system!" - That sounds very much as if that where something new. I was in school 40 years ago and I can assure you, that all of this has already been teached back then.

We were just there last week. Really enjoyed the city. fYI this museum is in a temporary space until the updated museum reopens in 2026. It's still worth a visit. We read that because of the interest in this exhibit that the war crimes trial courtroom in Nuremberg was opened to the public. Another place to see history come alive.

What were the positives of Nazism and the negatives of Nazism? If you want to say it was only negatives, you ignore what it was that attracted millions of Germans to it. That is worth knowing. Rick and others want to talk about this phenomenon as "hypnosis." It scares them that this appeals to rational, cogent, sensible human beings.

I personally think they should create a lot more tourism around what happened. Not try to cover it up. We already know. There is nothing to hide. Let's learn from the past.

I visited the Documentation Center a couple of years ago while on a trip and found this museum fascinating and informative. Although I remembered from my school history classes about Hitler, Nazi Germany and Fascism this Documentation Center was a real “eye opener” for most people. I completely understand the “importance” of “teaching” others what should NEVER happen again in this world; a takeover of a nation by a madman is the worst thing that could happen to any country.

Beautiful place. I lived there for +20 years and whish to return.

Almighty God. Bless our arms when the time comes. Be righteous just as thou has always been. Judge for thyself whether we have merited our freedom. Lord, bless our fight. AH
