GESTAPO Headquarters Pomorska Street Muzeum Krakowa (Budget Travel Poland) {Krakow, POLAND}
Budget Travel Poland #3
The Gestapo Headquarters on Pomorska Street in Krakow continue to remind visitors of the German occupation, now on the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII.
Starting in the early days of WWII in 1939, Krakow was an administrative center for the Gestapo, the police force that ruled with impunity. Pomorska Street was the jail cell where prisoners and those in the Polish Underground were tortured for information before their probable executions in concentration and death camps.
Muzeum Krakowa has created a thorough permanent exhibition, named People of Krakow in Times of Terror 1939-1945-1956, to bring attention the sufferings of ordinary citizens who fought against repressive Nazi and Communist regimes. At these headquarters are the chilling pencil etchings, still legible, of prisoners' final days.

Murder of the Jews at the Gestapo Headquarters
Boris Nikhamovskii, who was born in 1931 in Velizh and lived there during the war years, tells how on January 21, 1942 some Germans arrived at the ghetto and ordered the inmates outside. When the Jews did not obey, since they were awarethat this was a summons to be shot, the Germans selected a number of vicitms from their list. The vicitms were taken away from the ghetto and none of them ever returned.
