The Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial is a historical site and museum located in Berlin, Germany, dedicated to preserving the memory of the victims of political persecution in East Germany. Originally established as a Soviet internment camp after World War II, it later became a notorious Stasi prison where the East German secret police held and interrogated political dissidents. Today, the memorial offers guided tours, exhibitions, and educational programs that provide insight into the oppressive tactics used by the Stasi and the experiences of former inmates.
