Warsaw Uprising Museum from Outside

Bearing in mind the struggle the Poles had with the Germans during WW2, I thought it appropriate that a view from the outside makes it look like a prison.

Wikipedia says:

"The uprising was timed to coincide with the Soviet Union's Red Army approaching the eastern suburbs of the city and the retreat of German forces. However, the Soviet advance stopped short, enabling the Germans to regroup and demolish the city while defeating the Polish resistance, which fought for 63 days with little outside support. The uprising was the largest single military effort taken by any European resistance movement during WW2"
