The museum of the history of the Polish Jews is located in a district just as rich as the stories of the museum itself.
Muranow is described as area that raised like phoenix from the ashes and the rubble of the former lively Jewish quarter and later on ghetto. After the war, the architect wanted to rebuild the area with a purpose of preservation.
"It was like architectural utopia," says Beata Chomatowska, founder of Stacja Muranow, an association that joins together people who are interested in promoting the district.
