The Pomorska street in Krakow contained the headquarters of the Nazi Gestapo police during World War II (including the Gestapo prison). The Pomorska street Gestapo prison is now a museum that exhibits documents, archive material, photographs and various items related to a recent past of Poland and the German SS, illustrating how they investigated and tormented the victims. A highlight in the museum are the old cells where the Gestapo interrogated the prisoners, with engravings still on the wall.

    The Pomorska street Gestapo prison in Kraków, Poland, is a somber and educational site that offers visitors a glimpse into the dark history of Nazi occupation during World War II. Located in the former Gestapo headquarters, this museum provides a stark reminder of the atrocities committed during that time.

    Visitors often note the powerful impact of seeing the preserved prison cells and interrogation rooms. The exhibits, featuring personal accounts and artifacts, effectively convey the harsh realities faced by prisoners. Many reviewers appreciate the museum's role in preserving history and educating future generations about the consequences of totalitarianism.

    However, some visitors find the experience emotionally challenging due to the nature of the content. The museum is relatively small, which can be seen as a drawback for those expecting a more extensive exhibition. Additionally, a few reviewers mention that some information is only available in Polish, which can be a limitation for international visitors.

    Despite these minor issues, the majority of visitors consider the Pomorska street Gestapo prison an important historical site that provides a moving and thought-provoking experience. It serves as a vital testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression.
