Around the corner from the Nowa Huta History Museum stands one of Stalin’s IS-2 tanks, one that saw action in World War II. Behind it is an exhibition detailing heroic action taken by locals during the conflict. Documents,  weapons, uniforms and medals are displayed across one floor, with one section set aside for the wartime letters of Jan Anioƚa, first director of the steelworks.
