This branch of the Museum of Kraków investigates the history of Kraków during the German occupation and the Stalinist period. It also works with the “Rawelin” Małopolska Association of History Enthusiasts helping to share knowledge about this period. One result of this cooperation was the opening of an air-raid shelter to visitors in 2006.

The building at ul. Pomorska 2, known as the Silesian House, was built in 1931–36 as a hostel for young people from Silesia. From 1939 to 1945, it served as the headquarters of the Gestapo in Kraków and as a place of interrogation, imprisonment, and torture for thousands of people. After the war, the building came under the care of the National Defence League. Since 1981, it has housed a museum branch commemorating the experience of Kraków during the Second World War.

Estimated visiting time: 30 min
