A prison that didn’t appear on public maps, where political prisoners would vanished behind its walls…

This week, Annie and Johanna take you to Berlin-Hohenschönhausen, one of East Germany’s most notorious prisons. We start in post-WWII Berlin, when the Soviet NKVD established Special Camp No. 3, and follow the site’s history over the decades. From the infamous underground U-Boot prison to the detention and interrogation center run by the Stasi.

Stasi, Hohenschönhausen, East Germany, GDR, DDR, Berlin Wall, Cold War, Soviet NKVD, political prisoners, East Berlin, German history, Soviet occupation, secret police, Stasi prison, true crime history.
