After Salzburg I thought that I would gradually head across towards France, with ideas for Munich and Switzerland on the way. I had wanted to see Munich for several reasons, it was the site of the Olympics in 1972 when the Palestinian group Black September took eleven Israeli Olympic team members hostage and killed them along with a German police officer, and the place where Matt Busby’s Manchester United team were mostly killed in a plane crash, in 1958.

It was also the birthplace of the National Socialists, Hitler’s Nazi Party, and the city has a major museum dedicated to the rise of the Nazis, and the contimuig eradication of Jews.

I had first seen the Jewish Holocaust memorial in Vienna several years ago, and a second visit this trip was no less moving. Anti-semitism, and the ethnic cleansing of the Roma and gipsy populations was rife in the thirties in Europe, and with a rise in anti semetism today it was worth a look to see how it came about the first time.
