Tadeusz Pankiewicz, working and living in the ghetto for two and a half years, witnessed its gradual degradation and final liquidation. His pharmacy "Under the Eagle" served not only as a drug supply point, but also as a refuge and contact point between the inhabitants of the ghetto and the outside world. The pharmacy staff risked their lives by passing on messages, packages and providing shelter during night arrests.

This book is not only a record of facts, but above all a moving portrait of human solidarity and steadfastness in the face of cruelty. Pankiewicz piously recorded the fate of people whose lives were marked by the stigma of the ghetto, saving them from oblivion. His account is an invaluable historical document that allows us to understand the tragedy of the Holocaust and pay tribute to the victims.

His story is an inspiration to act and a reminder of the values that should be the foundation of our society.
