What you'll see
The building that was Cologne's Gestapo headquarters, with the basement prison cells kept as they were, their walls scratched with prisoners' messages, and an exhibition on the city under the Nazis upstairs.
A brief history
The cells' wall writings, in many languages, survived because the building came through the war almost undamaged.
