Ulma Family Museum of Poles Saving Jewish People - Exterior at Dusk

The Ulma Family Museum of Poles Saving Jewish People is designed by Nizio Design - dedicated to the role of the Polish in helping the Jews during World War II, in particular that of the Ulma Family who was massacred by Nazis for hiding Jews in their house. It is located in Markowa, a village in southeast Poland. It commemorates the lives of both Poles and Jews who lost their lives during the war. The building is part gables above ground (with exhibits), clad in weathering steel, and an underground rectilinear structure (with offices). It intentionally resembles a house - which is often associated with safety, warmth, and love.
