Day Three in Nürnberg
July 8, 2009
For Wednesday, July 8th, we hear from Gerald Crawford, senior at Henry W. Grady High School.
Today was unlike any other day, even though the day started the same as yesterday; wake up, take a shower, and then eat breakfast. The thing that made today different was we didn’t ride the train but hopped on a trolley and got off at a big grey stone building that looked like the coliseum in Rome. Yeah, but I am clearly in Germany. This particular coliseum model was a part of Nazi Rally Grounds, which sat on about two square miles. The rally ground was built around a lake, exactly in line with the castle of the old Nurnberg. The reason the Nazis built the rally ground where it was because it was the space was on a land that was not being used because it was swamp land. Hitler’s plan was one in which he was able to 
manipulate the minds of others and start a major movement. The one thing that really stood out for me was the meeting space at the rally ground, it seemed as if I see the people standing there listening. There was an since of silence as the emotion of the place stood for went through my mind.
