A permanent £7m exhibition examining the role of Nuremberg during the Third Reich has opened in the grounds of the city's infamous National Socialist Party rallies site. The Fascination and Violence project is the first major German exhibition devoted to explaining Nazism's rise from the perspective of the perpetrators rather than the victims. The six square-mile site was developed by Hitler's architects and its construction continued until Germany's capitulation. Thousands of slave labourers died in concentration camps hewing the granite and limestone slabs used to make the buildings. The former rally grounds are also used for motor racing, skateboarding and ball games.
