Story · Muzeum Więzienia Pawiak

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at Pawiak, the site of what was once Warsaw's most notorious prison. Very little of it is left, and that in itself tells a story. Have a look around. Of the whole complex, only half of the gateway and three cells are still standing. Everything else vanished in 1944.
