About

In the Tallinn Old Town, the KGB Prison Cells provide a chilling glimpse into Estonia's past. This attraction and museum, tells the haunting story of its time as a center for Soviet state security. Originally dubbed the "house of horrors" in 1940, its cellar became infamous in 1941 when internal prison cells were constructed. These cells are a stark reminder of the communist terror and human rights abuses that linger in collective memory. The site serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of protecting human rights.

W pakiecie z muzuem okupacji jeszcze ujdzie, ale indywidualnie nie opłaca się. Kilka cel plus izolatka

Sehr informativ gestaltet. Die Infoaushänge sind in mehreren Sprachen (Englisch und Estnisch) verfasst und schildern sehr klar die Eindrücke der KGB-Zeit. Viele Infos und Quellen sind sehr emotional und erschreckend, was aber nur zu deren Qualität beiträgt.
