Cologne - This is a museum of the dark past of Germany - the Nazi regime.

| Grim reality of the Nazi documentation centre |
The walls and floors are kept this way to make it look grim and a stark reality of how cruel the Gestapo were. Cologne residents were documented, interrogated, tortured and murdered in this same building.

| Nazi symbol in churches |
Religion and christianity are frown upon, and if christians do have to worship in churches, symbols of Nazi need to be alongside symbols of christianity. Nazi indoctrinate the Aryan race as the most superior, and murder millions of other races like Jews. Nazi put to death homosexuals, disabled and other non-pure elements of the Aryan race.

In Germany, the Nazis promoted this false notion that glorified the German people as members of the "Aryan race," while denigrating Jews, Black people, and Gypsies as “non-Aryans.”

| Execution courtyard |
There are all mirrors surrounding this courtyard, you can feel a sense of eerie-ness in the atmosphere in this place which I don't usually feel. Further walking down the dark chamber gives you a creepy feeling and I quickly walked out.

Humans must live in peace and the cruelty of humanity must never be forgotten nor repeated.
