The Documentation Centre Party Rally Grounds The Documentation Centre Party Rally Grounds, opened in 2001, is located in the north wing of the unfinished shell of the Congress Hall. On 1,300 square metres, the permanent exhibition “Fascination and Terror” deals with the causes, contexts and consequences of the National Socialist rule of terror. The focus of the 19 exhibition areas is on topics which relate directly to Nuremberg, arranged in chronologi- cal order. Topics include the history of the party rallies, the buildings on the Party Rally Grounds, the “Nuremberg Racial Laws” of 1935, the “Nuremberg Trial” of the main war criminals responsible for Nazi crimes in 1945 and the twelve follow-up trials, as well as the difficult process of dealing with the architectural legacy left behind after 1945.

FUNCTIONAL FILLERS FOR HIGH-VOLTAGE CABLES AND SEALS

Neuburg Siliceous Earth is a natural agglomerate of amor-

phous and cryptocrystalline silicic acid and lamellar

kaolinite. Initial thermal treatment followed by surface

modiﬁ cation produces the high-quality Aktiﬁ t VM. The low

dielectric loss and the high and constant electrical resi-

stance when immersed in water are properties which

make Aktifit VM ideal for seals and even for high-voltage

cables. It also has outstandingly versatile processing ad-

vantages. These include low sieve residue, low moisture

content and low moisture absorption as well as excellent

extrusion properties. We have the know-how. Use it. • Germany ) Donau ( 84 31-53-3 30 30 84 31-53-3 ) 0 ( 84 31-53-0 • Fax +49 • Fax 84 31-53-0 ) 0 ( PLEASE VISIT US AT HALL 4, BOOTH 614
