"Pedagogics encompassing the documentation centre" is an facility belonging to the District Youth Circles which is financed by the City of Nuremberg, the Land Bavaria, the State and the Region of Middle Franconia. Three female members of staff design and organise the educational programme in cooperation with an team of free lancers participating in regular training and further educational courses.
The following parameters apply to the educational program: Nuremberg was a "place of perpetrators" in the "Third Reich". Even today, the name Nuremberg is associated with major events and elements from the Nazi era:
- City of the Reich Party Congress
- The city lends its name to the "Nuremberg laws" but also the "Nuremberg trials"
- The regime staged its propaganda rallies in Nuremberg
- The site of the Reich Party Conference was a place of perpetrators and hangers-on
It is important that the motivation, the ideology, the conduct and the motives of the hangers on are discussed here. Pedagogics makes a significant contribution to historical and political education of children and juveniles, whilst at the same time offering an impetus for critical reflection on today`s society and its problems. |
