The opening of House of Leaves - museum of secret surveillance

House of Leaves will open today and is the newest in Albania.  Built in 1931, is used to be a center for interceptions and as such it hides painful stories of human lives.  During the Second World War, under the German invasion, it was transformed in the Gestapo’s offices and after the war it was used by the State Security surveillance of the communist regime. By 1950, the State Security turned it into the main center of interceptions. The house is located in the center of the city, on the opposite side of the Orthodox Cathedral, near the "Skënderbe" square and the Central Bank of Albania.
