At El-De Haus, the crimes of the Nazi regime in Cologne are documented in the city's former Gestapo headquarters. The exhibition squarely demolishes the idea that the Nazis enjoyed no support in Cologne, and among the most chilling exhibits are the letters written by two elderly female residents of a retirement home, denouncing their young parish priest.
