The former STASI prison in Höhenschönhausen, in the Eastern outskirts of Berlin, is now serving as a museum and a memorial. The place is left as it was at the time it still served as a prison.
It is hard to describe what makes the place so impressive. The interrogation rooms look bleek, the furniture is feeble and poor. The smell is penetrating,.the environment is stultifying.
Yet these spaces represent a nation that suppressed and controlled its people 24/7.
more information on the Höhenschönhausen Memorial you can find here.
