Lonely Planet review

A short distance to the west of the Botanical Gardens is the Mauzoleum Walki i Męczeństwa, a branch of the Pawiak Prison Museum. Like Pawiak, this building was used by the Gestapo for interrogation, torture and murder, and now stands as a memorial to the thousands of Poles who passed through its doors. With its depressing basement holding cells and Gestapo officer's interrogation room (complete with original bullwhips, coshes, knuckledusters etc), it's a hard place to visit.
