Widerstand und Verfolgung in Dortmund 1933–1945 ("Resistance and Persecution in Dortmund 1933-1945")

Built in 1928 as both a police station and jail, this building, which now houses one the city’s best museums, was under the Nazis one of the most notorious places of torture in the Third Reich. Now all five floors have been transformed into an exhibition using the original cells and charting the history of the little known about opposition to Hitler's regime from 1933 to 1945. The museum demonstrates the persecution under National Socialism with many photographs, short texts and sometimes with reports from contemporary witnesses.
