His home is now a biographical museum. In 1945, fierce battles to break the Pomeranian Wall took place here, as a result of which old buildings, including those of considerable historical interest, were demolished. Today, Pila is a modern city devoid of any relics of the past. Tourists are also welcome to visit the Museum of the Liberation of the City of Pila situated in the suburban quarter of Brzeznica (the exhibition of military accessories and documents related to the events in 1945).
