WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s Jewish leaders have unveiled plans for a glass skyscraper


WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s Jewish leaders have unveiled plans for a glass skyscraper in a neighborhood that was the heart of the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II.

The building — projected to rise 680 feet high — would tower over the elegant Nozyk synagogue, Warsaw’s only remaining synagogue, dramatically altering the look of the historic neighborhood.

The skyscraper would include a new house of prayer, a kosher restaurant and vast commercial space, giving Warsaw’s growing Jewish community a place to expa nd its activities and providing a source of profit for the future.

The project is another step in the revival of Jewish life in Poland, which was home to Europe’s largest Jewish community until World War II.
