Expert's comment

"A combination of the sites and museums in Munich along with visits to Dachau and Nuremberg provides a very full programme of study.  This is given further depth by the opportunity to look at specific examples of German resistance to Nazism including the White Rose Group and Rupert Meyer."

FAQs

Why are Munich and Nuremberg such powerful destinations for studying Nazi Germany?

Munich and Nuremberg offer students the chance to explore locations central to the rise of Nazism and the shaping of Germany in the 20th century.

Groups also benefit from the support of an NST City Representative, Local Guides or Specialist Escorts who add expert insight while helping ensure the content is handled sensitively throughout.
