서대문형무소역사관은…
조국독립을위해…일제의침략에맞서싸우다…
순국하신…애국선열들의넋을기리고…
선열들의…자주독립정신을되새겨보는…역사의산교육장입니다.

"문밖에서들여다본…서대문형무소안의모습…"
"지금은…굳게닫혀져있는문…고문당한독립투사들이갇혀있었던곳…"
"사형장…사형대로들어가는입구…출입금지구역이다…
촬영금지구역이었는데…가슴이먹먹해져…도저히그냥나올수가없었다…
"오랜인고의세월과…역사의흔적을보여주는…낡을대로닳아버린붉은벽…"
"유관순열사가…갇혀있었던지하감옥…
비좁은통로를지나…숨이막힐듯이…다닥다닥붙어있는감옥방…"
"형무소안…중앙통로입구에서…바라다본모습…
차가운느낌의…질식할것같은느낌의…회색칠한벽과…
굳게빗장이처져…시간이지나도…도무지열릴것같지않은닫혀진철장문…"
"일제의침략에…맞서싸우다순국하신…애국선열들이갇혀있었던감옥…
감옥안으로들어가보니…우리눈에들어오는것은…
가로15cm세로10cm정도될것같은…쥐구멍만한창이였다…
다행이한쪽벽에는…창살로막은…창문이있었다.
나와우리는…그때의그느낌과…감옥에감금되어있는…
독립투사들의…마음을읽어보려고…차가운바닥에앉아도보고…
쥐구멍창으로…창밖의…세상을바라보기도하였다."
