"It’s not surprising that the former headquarters of the Stasi, East Germany's brutal secret police, would be a sinister place. Located in a rundown area in East Berlin, the complex is where Erich Mielke, the Minister for State Security from 1957 until the fall of the Berlin Wall, ordered the surveillance and physical and psychological torture of millions of East German citizens. The site opened as the Stasimuseum, three floors of exhibition space about the methods of the secret police, in November 1990." - Jennifer Ceaser
