The Muranow neighborhood in Warsaw was a flourishing and important center of Jewish life in Poland. During World War II the neighborhood was turned into the Warsaw Ghetto. After the war the neighborhood was rebuilt and is now a thriving and beautiful area of the city with, thousands of Poles living in the green and spacious Muranow, yet its' dark past keeps haunting it. Polish residents claim that Jewish ghosts live in the neighborhood. At night they shake off the dust and ashes that cover them, and wander the streets they once lived in. Other residents think the ghosts are a metaphor for the life, culture, and memories of the Jewish people buried beneath the ground.
