Mausoleo de lucha y martirio
Mausoleum of Struggle and Martyrdom (Alley Szucha 25, Warsaw) – located in the left wing of the country’s Ministry of Education, this located once housed the headquarters of the German secret police (Gestapo) during the Nazi occupation, with the basement used as an investigative prison. Numerous artifacts (from documents to photos of the imprisoned – even drawings and carvings) are on display here – so that visitors won’t forget the years that Poland was occupied, and so that locals won’t take for granted the freedoms they now enjoy during the post-Soviet era.
