We're proud of our name!


Here we are in Neuremburg. Site of the famous Nazi war crime trials. We went by the courthouse where the trials were held and got an explanation of why they were held in Germany rather than Russia. (Russia just wanted to execute them rather than hold trials - which would have made justice a mockery)

We were dropped off on a square for lunch and I notice this sign above a jewelery store. I guess schmuck has no derogatory connotations in German.

Next stop Czech Republic.

"Schmuck" is the German word for "jewelry."
