Overview

Step into the gritty, industrial heart of Poznań and uncover the spark that ignited a revolution. This immersive audio journey takes you back to June 1956, when tens of thousands of factory workers walked off the job, demanding bread, dignity, and freedom from a brutal communist regime. From the rusted gates of the Cegielski factory to modern commercial centers and the bullet-scarred streets of the secret police headquarters, experience a city built on pragmatic trade and fierce civic resistance. Discover how a local strike broadcast the cracks in the Soviet empire to the world.
