Sightseeing and Another Visit to Nussberg!

Robert at the Schillstrasse Memorial.

Today was very busy with last minute sightseeing.  The photo right shows Rob at the Schillstrasse Memorial to those who worked and died at the Forced Labour Camp on the site of the Bussing Auto works 1943/44.   The wall is covered with little plaques with words  of remembrance from the families and friends of those who lost their lives, and from the people of  Braunschweig who became involved in trying to help the many children who suffered in the camp.  It is a place to sit and reflect about man's inhumanity to man, and to vow never to allow it to happen again.

We revisited Nussberg and the "Thingplatz," the site of big rallies in the amphitheatre during the 1930/40's, and found the remains of the stage, the steps down to the arena and the rows of seating.  The photo below shows Rob on the steps and in the lower photo Rob and Louise at the Speaker's Platform in Franzches Field.  This dais was used to address big rallies in Braunschweig during the National Socialist Era of 1930/40.
