the pharmacy till...
This is the till in the Pharmacy under the Eagle, Krakow. It was run by a Tadeusz Pankiewicz, a Polish citizen.When the ghetto was built, he was offered a chance to leave, but decided to stay. It became a place for the jews within the ghetto to get medical help, and a location to meet and hide. He would also pass messages to those outside. He provided sedatives for the children to keep them quiet when the soldiers did their searches. Also hair dye for the older residents to look younger, thus escaping the death camps. After the war ended he continued to work at the pharmacy until 1953. He died in 1993. A truly remarkable and extremely brave man.
