What lies beneath...

To the naked eye the pictures below might just look like modern buildings. A large skyscraper and some office buildings next door... 

However, the blue tower(the building's name I promise) stands where the Great Synagogue of Warsaw (Wielka Synagoga w Warszawie) once stood before the SS blew up the Synagogue on May 16th, 1943. Standing next to the blue tower is the Jewish Institute of Warsaw and Museum.  It tells of the Synagogue that was once there and about people who once lived in this beautiful city.  Also, the museum talks about how people lived during WWII and what life was like in this area of Warsaw.  

If you see the glass awnings that is a tram and bus stop that I, along with 1000s others each day use.  We are across the street from these two buildings and often I wonder how many people think of what lies beneath these buildings or I also wonder how many people know that the largest Synagogue in Warsaw once stood there.  Anyway, thoughts for the day, most post to come in the future hopefully.
