Once a Tsarist prison in the 1930s, the Museum of Pawiak Prison — which housed more than 100,000 inmates, became the biggest political prison in Poland during the Nazi occupation. Destroyed when the Germans retreated, the prison has since been rebuilt as a memorial to those who had suffered or perished inside. The walls here house poignant objects that will move even the hardest of hearts to tears. Photos of what transpired here are so disturbing that visitors may find their stomachs churning. But if you think that was bad, wait till you see the reconstructed cells here. These have seen so much pain and suffering that the air itself has an overbearing atmosphere. But don’t expect the courtyard to be any different. The gates here are filled with emotional obituary notices from the days of World War II. Whether you are entering or leaving, these will be the first and last things you see. The memories of those incarcerated here will always live on here, like the photos and notices on the gates. Truly an eye-opening experience, a trip to the Museum of Pawiak Prison must not be missed.
