Wurzburg, Germany 06/29/2016 Nuremberg Palace of Justice

On our last day in Wurzburg we decided to take the short train ride to the Palace of Justice where the Nuremburg trials took place.

Once at the Palace of Justice we took an audio tour through the exhibit built to memorialize the monumental trails. It was there where many documents and witness accounts told the horror stories of the cruelties hidden from the public during World War 2. The exhibit wove a history that explained how the world fell into war, the path to set up the court system, and how the verdicts were reached. It was a truly moving experience to sit in the courtroom in which precedent was set for crimes against humanity.

After our tour of the Palace of Justice we were recommended a few different places to try for lunch, and we decided on a local beer garden. We tried some local food of grilled sausage and potato salad.

After we rode the train back to Wurzburg, we decided to try to do some shopping and visit the Residence Palace. Unfortunately by the time we began the shopping trip many of the shops were closed, as many shops close at 6:00 here. We found the Residence Palace and explored the beautiful grounds and enjoyed the city as it is our last night here.
