Old German Sign

Toruń was once part of Germany (then it was called Thorn)...and was occupied by the Nazis. Most of the remnants from the Germans have since gone...but there is still the odd German sign if you know where to look. This one is on the corner of Ul. Strumykowa and Most Pauliński.

TORUŃ BY DUSK: Town Hall

Here is our most famous building in the wonderful colours of the blue period!

This building has stood here for hundreds of years. There is now a new temporary exhibition in town of old photographs of Toruń. The most chilling are those that depict Toruń under Nazi occupation. Just to see a black and white shot of this very same Town Hall with Nazi swastikas hanging off it...really did send a shiver down my spine.
