Warsaw’s Jewish museum to open in 2009
BY Tom Walker
Construction work has begun on The Museum of the History of polish Jews in Warsaw, Poland.
Designed by Finnish architects Rainer Mahlamäki and Ilmari Lahdelma, the 48m euro (£32m, US$65m) attraction will open to the public in September 2009.
Located in the city centre, the museum is being built close to the notorious Umschlagplatz – the location where the occupying Nazis rounded up Jews to send them to concentration camps in the 1940s.
