Background
The Montelupich Prison, named for the street on which it is 7 Montelupich Street, the so‑called ''Kamienica Montelupich,'' built in the 16th century and converted in the 19th century into part of an military tribunal. It is a historic prison in Kraków, Poland. It was used by the Gestapo during World War II and has been called "one of the most terrible Nazi prisons in [occupied] Poland". The Gestapo took over the facility from the German Sicherheitspolizei at the end of March 1941. One of the Nazi officials responsible for overseeing the Montelupich Prison was Ludwig Hahn.
