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.
