Gorlice Gestapo HQ


In early 1941, Gestapo set up a local office in Gorlice, south-eastern Poland. The office was called Nebenstelle Gorlice and was a branch of Gestapo in Jaslo. No fewer than 2,700 people were taken to the office where they were interrogated, often under torture or ill-treatment, to force out confessions and concessions. About 300 died while the majority were sent to other prisons and camps.

Current status: Preserved with memorial tablet (2019).
