It is unbilievable that I have already been here for a month!
On the other hand it feel everything has just started and then again I am already sttled in pretty well. I have my favourite coffee shop and routes and steady weekly routine. 

In university I had to make a choise between two courses after coming to the realization that I don't have the time for everything. So nowI am only doing Cultural diversity, incluvive language and two-weekend course of therapeutic role-play for children and youth.

At cph I have have been introduced to the methods and their theorethical backgrouds used in work here. That means a lot of reading and convesations with employers. Furthermore I have focused in the project Human. I have browsed through the book and wached the movie (link to part 1) and some extras. 


On tuesday lectures were cancelled and suddenly I had a whole day free. I used it for a trip to Documentation centre nazi party rally grounds. Here is a part of describe from museums.nuremberg.de :
"The Documentation Centre Nazi Party Rally Grounds, often shortened to Dokuzentrum (Docu Centre), is located in the north wing of the Congress Hall, designed by the National Socialists to house 50,000 spectators, remained unfinished, though. With its "glass and steel arrow", piercing the north wing, the Documentation Centre is a widely visible architectural counterpoint.
On 1,300 square meters, the permanent exhibition "Fascination and Terror" looks at the causes, the context and the consequences of the National Socialist reign of terror."

The lacation could not have been more effective. Apparently the architect was aiming to intimidation and demonstration of strenght. Job well done. The staircase leading in the building was added later when the unfinished and damaged construction was renovated into a documentation centre. The same strongly atmosphere continued inside.
The building is so huge I could only get a picture of a small corner.
But you can see the massive propotions and the "glass and steel arrow" piercing it.

The exhibiton was built on second floor of the new interior.
It was actually pretty high from ground.
(It is finally autumn here. Even when I am learning about history of national socialism
 I can't help noticing how beautiful it is outside)
Everywhere I could see rough unfinished surfaces.
I could only guess if they were left so when the construcion ended
or is there marks of war to be seen.
One part of the exhibition was the story of the building.
I learned that some of the marble used on the facade was mined in concentration camps.
 People have actually died workin on the stones.
In the bathroom there were another kind history written on walls.
Every brick was covered in script of teen spirit, cuteness and one very unappropriate one.





Downstairs were a temporary exhibition featuring portraits of concentration camp survivors.
After a long day it was nice to sit down and enjoy a bowl of soup and orange-pannacotta cake


Plus I finally went to see the Handwerkhof! It is almost next to my place here, but for some reason I have always walked past. It turns out there were nothing for me to purchase, but still a beautiful part of town.
