Museum of Cursed Soldiers and Political Prisoners of the Polish People’s Republic

Museum of Cursed Soldiers and Political Prisoners of the Polish People’s Republic, Historical museum in Mokotów, Poland

The Museum of Cursed Soldiers and Political Prisoners occupies a former prison building in Mokotów with exhibits spread across multiple pavilions and basement areas. The spaces display original cells, personal belongings, and documents from the period between 1945 and 1989.

The prison building served as a place of detention for resistance fighters and political opponents of the regime between 1945 and 1989. Many of those imprisoned were later executed or died from mistreatment.

The museum preserves memories of people who resisted political oppression after World War II through their personal belongings and written words. These items reveal how individuals maintained their dignity and hope during difficult times.

The building is well served by public transportation and located in an accessible neighborhood. Allow adequate time to explore the various rooms and exhibition areas throughout the complex.

The building preserves some of the last places where known resistance fighters spent their final days before execution. This direct connection to individual fates makes the visit particularly moving.
