Gestapo, SS & Reich Security Office on Prinz Albert Terrain
Open Air Exhibition

The Prinz Albert Terrain represented the actual government district of the SS and Police State between 1933 & 1945. It was here that the "Final Solution to the Jewish question" or genocide of the Jews and the systematic persecution and murder of other parts of the population was planned.

The Topographie of Terror open-air exhibit presents historical photographic evidence of the area, buildings, people (both persecuted and oppressors) in a setting of the rubble of the actual building. Although most of the captions are in German, there are free multi-lingual pamphlets in available in the trailer that serves as the visitor center. There is also a book you can purchase there that gives direct translations of all the signage in the exhibit, as well as much more explanation and historical information.
