Spend time at the NS-Dokumentationszentrum, Munich's free museum on the rise of Nazism. Move through detailed exhibitions of preserved objects and documents that trace the city's role in the movement.
Full description
The NS-Dokumentationszentrum examines the rise of Nazism in the city where it began, using permanent and temporary exhibitions that combine modern design with preserved historical objects. Entry is free, and reviewers describe a thorough, well-organised and deeply moving experience, with some staying several hours.
Topics include the party's early history and the use of forced labour by companies during the war. Allow more time than the typical 75 minutes if you like to read everything.
