| Summary: | Very few cities in Germany have to bear the burden of a history as tormented as that of Nuremberg in the twentieth century: Nazi party rallies, the infamous Nuremberg Laws, Julius Streicher's Der Stürmer, the International Military Tribunal, and the American War Crimes Trials against Nazi criminals—all are associated with the city. Nuremberg thus seems an obvious choice for a case study of Germany's way of coping with its Nazi past., At the end of the war, the country was in ruins. Millions of Germans had died, and countless others found themselves imprisoned or expelled from their former homes. The stigma of defeat and occupation hung heavily over the Germans. |
