The library has plenty of other materials to peak your interest, so visit and explore.

NUREMBERG GETAWAY NOVEMBER 4-6
Nuremberg is a perfect weekend away from Garmisch: fairly close, still in Bavaria, inexpensive by comparison with many other places and has many varied attractions. Kaiserburg, the main castle of the Holy Roman Empire, sits on top of the central hill within the city walls. Richard Wagner chose this city as the scene for his operatic drama “The Mastersingers of Nuremberg.” Adolf Hitler appreciated the historic credentials and made it the background for his largest propaganda rallies during the Third Reich. The allies appreciated the same historical value as the perfect venue to press charges against some of those same personages at the famous “Nuremberg Trials” following World War II. The Nuremberg Documentation Center is one of the most thorough museums on the history of the Nazis. From the development of arts and clothing to medicine and instruments, the German National Museum offers a wide variety of exhibits on the history of the German-speaking region. Hotel accommodations, breakfast and transportation included. Price: $250/adult; Single supplement $45/night; $125/child

Also included is a tour of the Franz Kafka Museum, as well as Alfons Mucha’s cycle of 20 paintings known as “The Slav Epic.” Hotel accommodations, breakfast and transportation included. Price: $390/adult; Single supplement $45/night; $195/child * passport required
