Nuremberg, Germany: Way of Human Rights

The is a slightly curious monument in the middle of the old city of Nuremberg - one that deserves a little attention.

It's a tribute to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Once past the gate, you can see the columns stretching into the distance. There are 30 of them. Each one has an article of the Declaration written in German and in another language.

This monument opened on October 24, 1993 (United Nations Day). Nuremberg continues to try to change its image as a city, as bad memories remain of the way it hosted Nazi rallies in the day.
