Pawiak Prison Museum

The Pawiak Prison Museum stands as a poignant testament to the brutalities faced during World War II. Originally built in the 19th century, it became notorious during Nazi occupation as a place of terror and suffering. Today, the museum preserves the memory of the thousands who were imprisoned and perished here, offering exhibits that include personal artifacts, photographs, and historical documents. The remnants of the original prison walls and the iconic Elm tree, which once stood in the prison courtyard, serve as powerful symbols of resilience.
