Munich documentation center opens
The Munich Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism opened on Thursday at a symbolic location 70 years after the World War II.
The new center, located at Munich's Koenigsplatz square where the Nazis burned books that contradicted their racist ideology in 1933, is to provide Munich with a central place of learning and remembrance.

Places to see in ( Cologne - Germany )
Cologne, a 2,000-year-old city spanning the Rhine River in western Germany, is the region’s cultural hub. A landmark of High Gothic architecture set amid reconstructed old town, the twin-spired Cologne Cathedral is also known for its gilded medieval reliquary and sweeping river views. The adjacent Museum Ludwig showcases 20th-century art, including many masterpieces by Picasso, and the Romano-Germanic Museum houses Roman antiquities.
Cologne (German: Köln, Ripuarian: Kölle) is situated on the river Rhine, it's the largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia and the fourth largest city in Germany with more than 1.000.000 inhabitants (greater area 3.500.000 inhabitans). In medieval times it was the largest city of the Holy Roman Empire. It is one of the nation's media, tourism and business hotspots. Cologne is known to be one of the most liberal cities in Germany.
The distinctive flavour to the city of Cologne is often linked to the city's inhabitants, or Kölsche, who take an enormous amount of pride in their city. Cologne is a traditionally Ripuarian-speaking city, though this has mostly been replaced by German, which is now the main language of the city. English-speaking guides and information are available for many of the landmarks of the city. For tourists who speak German and wish to practice it, the citizens usually have a lot of patience with those trying to come to grips with the language. Cologne's citizens are very friendly and jovial people, welcoming tourists of all types and with all interests.
Away from the landmarks, workers of the Deutsche Bahn (German railways) often speak English reasonably well, and ticket machines have a language selection feature. In general, older people in Cologne tend to have little or no knowledge of English, while younger Germans and those working in the business world tend to be reasonably proficient. Language is rarely a strong barrier, so this shouldn't be too much of a worry for the average tourist. Just approach a friendly native and use a smile on your face.
Cologne has an excellent public transport network consisting of trams, local trains and buses. Bicycles are also available for hire on the northern side of the Hauptbahnhof. Local transport systems rarely provide announcements in English, but network maps are commonly available to assist with your journey. Those wishing to explore area away from the central city should plan their journey and potential connections before leaving.

Munich - Königsplatz: location of the NS Documentation Centre for Nazi Crimes
The Königsplatz in Munich was built in 19th century by the Bavarian Kings to remind us of the fight for freedom in Greece and commemorate the ancient roots of our civilization.
It was used by the Nazi regime to commemorate their Putschists, to demonstrate military power and germanic heroism and location of their Party's headquarters.
1945 it shows up destroyed by war, location to celebrate the liberation of the city from terror and tyranny and symbolise a new start under Americas authority.

GERMANY: MUNICH: NEO NAZI PROTESTORS TAKE TO THE STREETS
German/Nat
Thousands of neo-Nazi protestors took to the streets of Munich on Saturday, protesting over a controversial exhibition which claims ordinary German soldiers were involved in war time atrocities.
On show at a museum in the German city the display called the 'War of Extermination, Wehrmacht Crimes from 1941-1944', documents how the regular German army, took part in Holocaust crimes.
Several hundred left-wing supporters assembled in another part of the city to stage a counter protest.
Police were out in force to keep the two sides apart.
Dressed in paratrooper boots and bomber jackets, over two thousand neo-Nazi's, skinheads and right wing supporters stamped through Munich, while Left-wing activists jeered from the sidelines.
The right-wing extremists descended upon Bavaria's capital from across Germany in buses to protest a World War Two exhibit that documents involvement by Hitler's regular armed forces in the Holocaust and other atrocities.
They believe the exhibits are too blatant and once again point the finger of blame at the German's when other nations whose behaviour during the war should also be examined.
As they marched through the streets of Munich they chanted Our grandfathers were no criminals and we are proud of them!
Thousands of left wing supporters had also gathered in the city to protest against the presence of right-wing extremists and show their support for the exhibition.
Jeering and shouting insults they had to be held back by police in riot gear as the skinheads, neo-Nazi's and right wing supporters marched past.
Scuffles broke out in some areas as the police struggled to keep the two opposing groups apart from each other.
The police arrested around 25 people, 21 of whom were right wing extremists, who were wearing a Nazi cross.
Over a thousand were drafted in to keep the city under control.
Well known extremists, if spotted trying to enter Munich were expected to be prevent from attending the demonstrations, and turned away.
The ruling party the Christian Social Union has been strongly criticised by the other parties for allowing the demonstration.
And one of the political opposition leaders spoke out.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
That's the sad point about it all, that the C-S-U (Christian Social Union) doesn't differentiate itself from the N-P-D (National Party of Germany) and from the Nazi's. I always thought there were liberal representatives in the C-S-U who would stand up to the right-leaning majority. It's sad that even the Bavarian president refuses to give his point of view or comment from Gauweiler (very conservative C-S-U party member) who speaks of a defamation campaign and also the fact that the state head Theo Waigel, refuses to comment. This is a sad chapter.
SUPER CAPTION: Hep Monatzeder, Green Party Mayor
The rallies were called by several parties to voice their opposition to the neo-Nazi march and also show their backing for the exhibition.
This exhibition challenges the notion that ordinary German soldiers had nothing to do with Nazi crimes during World War Two.
The exhibition uses photographs and letters from soldiers themselves to back up its premise that the regular army participated in mass killings of Jews and other atrocities, as well as the S-S units usually blamed for war crimes.
Hannes Heer, exhibit organiser and historian said the Wehrmacht had been the second pillar of Hitler's violent regime.
He claims these soldiers were responsible for millions of deaths, although that did not mean that every ordinary soldier was a criminal.
Across the city the Social Democratic Party marched alongside the German Workers Trade Union, while the Green Party teamed up with the young Socialists.

Yishai Sarid: Monster
On May 21st 2019 one of Israel’s best-known authors Yishai Sarid talked at the Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism about his new book Monster, where he describes how people deal with the memory of the Holocaust and asks about the connection between the Jews of that time and the Israelis today, about the glorification of power and about what turns human beings into murderers.
Hurricane Michael 2018 full coverage and updates
Hurricane Michael has killed at least one person as it continues to move inland over the Southeast. The storm made landfall on the Florida Panhandle Wednesday afternoon as one of the most powerful storms to ever hit the U.S. The intense Category 4 hurricane was packing maximum sustained winds of 155 mph when it crashed ashore near Mexico Beach, a lightly populated tourist town about midway along the Panhandle.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) described Michael as potentially catastrophic. Debris is strewn across miles of Florida's coastline: Roofs and awnings peeled back from buildings, pieces of homes scattered amid snapped trees and downed power lines, chunks of beaches washed away.
Follow our live blog:
Forecasters mark landfall as the place and time when the center of the eye strikes land. Minutes earlier, Michael's eyewall came ashore between Panama City and St. Vincent Island, and the hurricane center warned everyone inside the relative calm of the eye not to venture outside.
Hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 45 miles from the center. Those winds were tearing some buildings apart in Panama City Beach.
One beachfront structure under construction could be seen collapsing, and metal roofing material flew sideways across parking lots amid sheets of rain.

Durch die wilde Nordeifel | WDR Reisen
Der Wildnis-Trail durch den Nationalpark Eifel macht seinem Namen alle Ehre: Schmale Pfade schlängeln sich über 85 Kilometer durch dichte Wälder mit umgestürzten Bäumen, über sturmumtoste Höhen, vorbei an Bächen, Wildblumenwiesen und kleinen Dörfern. Tamina Kallert wandert die erste der vier Etappen durch die wilde Eifel, in der die Natur wieder Natur sein darf. Auf den knapp 25 Kilometern von Monschau-Höfen bis nach Einruhr trifft Tamina Kallert immer wieder die Bloggerin Silvana Brangenberg und ihren Mischling Cabo. Gemeinsam übernachten sie im Sternenpark. Ein alter Bekannter ist Michael Lammertz vom Nationalpark Eifel, der Erfinder des Trails. Er kennt ein Waldgebiet, in dem der Urwald schon zu erkennen ist. Auch abseits der Pfade des Nationalparks entdeckt Tamina Kallert Sehenswertes: Sie radelt um den Urftsee, besucht das Kloster Steinfeld, genießt im Dörfchen Schmidt einen marokkanischen Abend und fühlt sich beim Bogenschießen in der Nähe von Hellenthal wie eine Amazone.
992/5000
The wilderness trail through the Eifel National Park lives up to its name: Narrow paths meander over 85 kilometers through dense forests with fallen trees, over stormy heights, past streams, wildflower meadows and small villages. Tamina Kallert walks the first of the four stages through the wild Eifel, where nature is allowed to be nature again. On the nearly 25 kilometers from Monschau-Höfen to Einruhr Tamina Kallert meets again and again the blogger Silvana Brangenberg and her hybrid Cabo. Together they spend the night in the Sternenpark. An old acquaintance is Michael Lammertz from the Eifel National Park, the inventor of the trail. He knows a forest area in which the jungle is already recognizable. Tamina Kallert also discovers attractions off the beaten path of the National Park: she cycles around Lake Urftsee, visits Steinfeld Abbey, enjoys a Moroccan evening in the village of Schmidt and feels like an amazon in archery near Hellenthal.

SUMMARY
=======
Popes Pius XI (1922–39) and Pius XII (1939–58) led the Roman Catholic Church through the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. Around a third of Germans were Catholic in the 1930s. The Church in Germany had spoken against the rise of Nazism, but the Catholic aligned Centre Party capitulated in 1933 and was banned. In the various 1933 elections the percentage of Catholics voting for the Nazis party was remarkably lower than the average. Nazi key ideologue Alfred Rosenberg was banned on the index of the Inquisition, presided by later pope Pius XII. Adolf Hitler and several key Nazis had been raised Catholic, but became hostile to the Church in adulthood. While Article 24 of the NSDAP party platform called for conditional toleration of Christian denominations and the 1933 Reichskonkordat treaty with the Vatican purported to guarantee religious freedom for Catholics, the Nazis were essentially hostile to Christianity and the Catholic Church faced persecution in Nazi Germany. Its press, schools and youth organisations were closed, much property confiscated and around one third of its clergy faced reprisals from authorities. Catholic lay leaders were targeted in the Night of the Long Knives purge. The Church hierarchy attempted to co-operate with the new government, but in 1937, the Papal Encyclical Mit brennender Sorge accused the government of fundamental hostility to the church.
Among the most courageous demonstrations of opposition inside Germany were the 1941 sermons of Bishop August von Galen of Münster. Nevertheless, wrote Alan Bullock [n]either the Catholic Church nor the Evangelical Church... as institutions, felt it possible to take up an attitude of open opposition to the regime. In every country under German occupation, priests played a major part in rescuing Jews, but Catholic resistance to mistreatment of Jews in Germany was generally limited to fragmented and largely individual efforts. Mary Fulbrook wrote that when politics encroached on the church, Catholics were prepared to resist, but that the record was otherwise patchy and uneven, and that, with notable exceptions, it seems that, for many Germans, adherence to the Christian faith proved compatible with at least passive acquiescence in, if not active support for, the Nazi dictatorship.Catholics fought on both sides in the Second World War. Hitler's invasion of predominantly Catholic Poland ignited the conflict in 1939. Here, especially in the areas of Poland annexed to the Reich—as in other annexed regions of Slovenia and Austria—Nazi persecution of the church was intense. Many clergy were targeted for extermination. Through his links to the German Resistance, Pope Pius XII warned the Allies of the planned Nazi invasion of the Low Countries in 1940. From that year, the Nazis gathered priest-dissidents in a dedicated clergy barracks at Dachau, where 95 percent of its 2,720 inmates were Catholic (mostly Poles, and 411 Germans) and 1,034 priests died there. Expropriation of church properties surged from 1941.
The Vatican, surrounded by Fascist Italy, was officially neutral during the war, but used diplomacy to aid victims and lobby for peace. Vatican Radio and other media spoke out against atrocities. While Nazi antisemitism embraced modern pseudo-scientific racial principles, ancient antipathies between Christianity and Judaism contributed to European antisemitism. During the Nazi era, the church rescued many thousands of Jews by issuing false documents, lobbying Axis officials, hiding them in monasteries, convents, schools and elsewhere; including in the Vatican and papal residence at Castel Gandolfo. The Pope's role during this period is contested. The Reich Security Main Office called Pius XII a mouthpiece of the Jews. His first encyclical, Summi Pontificatus, called the invasion of Poland an hour of darkness, his 1942 Christmas address denounced race murders and his Mystici corporis Christi encyclical (1943) denounc ...
