Poland is on course to open a long-delayed museum dedicated to its near vanished Jewish minority next year, Culture Minister Bogdan Zdrojewski said Tuesday, lauding the project's global impact.

"It will be an important institution not only in Europe, but in the world," Zdrojewski said at a presentation for the Museum of the History of Polish Jews in New York

AFP said that the museum is being built in Warsaw on the site of the World War II Jewish Ghetto..
