Following the Footsteps of Toruń's POWs: Built by the Prisoners

The old railway station built by prisoners. The small holes in the walls
are evidence of where the scaffolding was once placed
The concrete slabs in the walls are examples of bomb protection as stations
were key strategic targets. There was a bomb shelter within the building.
Inside the old train station
The Water Tower

Built by the Prisoners:

For 12 hrs every day the POWs were forced to do hard labour. Both this former railway station and water tower were built by prisoners. The water tower is still fully operational.
