8 Strzelecka Street in Warsaw

The corner tenement house at Strzelecka and Środkowa Streets features a basement with preserved prison cells and historical markings on walls.

From 1944 to 1945, Soviet NKVD forces used this building as their headquarters, where they imprisoned and interrogated Polish independence fighters.

The Institute of National Remembrance established a Memorial Chamber in this building to document the experiences of political prisoners during post-war period.

Visitors can access the memorial exhibition from Monday to Friday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM to learn about Warsaw's resistance movement.

The basement walls contain original inscriptions carved by prisoners during their detention, providing direct evidence of the building's dark past.
