Praga Koneser Center

This guide to the Praga Koneser Center in Warsaw is set inside the distillery during the German occupation, when an engineer named Wilhelm Horak was placed in charge by the Nazis. It follows the workers he protected, the vodka he handed over to the Gestapo, and the falsified ledgers he used to cover the losses. You'll also hear how the site survived bombing in 1939 and demolition in 1944 before its rebirth as the red-brick square you're standing in now.
