Summary
The Krakow Ghetto Pharmacy is a firsthand account by Tadeusz Pankiewicz, a Polish pharmacist who chose to remain in the Krakow Ghetto during Nazi occupation. As the only Gentile allowed to stay, Pankiewicz operated his pharmacy, Under the Eagle, from 1941 to 1943. He witnessed the persecution and deportation of Jewish residents while providing medicine, shelter, and support. His memoir documents daily life in the ghetto, acts of resistance, and the humanity of those facing unimaginable horrors. It serves as both historical testimony and a tribute to courage during the Holocaust.
