The Strangest Museum

On the same walk with the employee from the Historical Museum of Warsaw, he stopped in front of a nondescript apartment complex and rang the buzzer. At the front desk, he spoke with the security guard and flashed his museum badge so that we could get into the courtyard. Isolated in the middle of the courtyard was a piece of building that had been encased in a conservatory-like construction.

These are the remains of a synagogue- a rare reminder of a segment of Warsaw's population that was almost completely eradicated. But what a strange way to treat it- preserving it meticulously, but for no one to see.
