This former pharmacy, on the south side of Plac Bohaterów Getta, tells the story of owner Tadeusz Pankiewicz, a Polish Gentile, who risked life and limb trying to help the Jewish residents of the Podgórze ghetto during WWII. Allowed to operate the pharmacy until the final deportation, Pankiewicz dispensed medicines (often without charge), carried news from the outside world and even allowed use of the establishment as a safe house on occasion.
The pharmacy's interior has been restored to its wartime appearance and tells the story of the ghetto's day to day life and the role of the pharmacy.
