Topographie des Terrors

Fodor's Review:

Within the cellar remains of the Nazis' Reich Security Main Office (which was composed of the SS, SD, and Gestapo), photos and documents explain the secret state police and intelligence organizations that planned and executed Nazi crimes against humanity. The fates of both perpetrators and victims are included in the free, open-air exhibit. Within a makeshift complex (a new documentation center is scheduled to be completed by 2009), you can leaf through books and copies of official documents. Pick up a free audio guide here before viewing the exhibit.
