You're standing in Muranów, Warsaw's old Jewish quarter, outside the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. During the Second World War, this was the Warsaw Ghetto. Turn around for a second. Right across from the museum stands the monument to the Ghetto Uprising of 1943. The museum quite literally faces it.
