EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant piece of history within the walls of Apteka Pod Orlem, the pharmacy of Tadeusz Pankiewicz in Krakow, Poland. The image showcases a collection of newspapers from the 1940s, serving as a reminder of the turbulent times during World War II and the Holocaust. Tadeusz Pankiewicz, a courageous Polish Roman Catholic pharmacist, transformed his pharmacy into a sanctuary for countless Jews seeking refuge from persecution. Located in Kazimierz, the historic Jewish quarter of Krakow, this humble pharmacy became an emblematic symbol of hope amidst darkness. Pankiewicz's bravery and compassion saved numerous lives during one of humanity's darkest chapters. The newspapers displayed in this photograph offer glimpses into that era's harrowing events while also representing resilience and resistance against oppression. Each headline tells stories untold and bears witness to both tragedy and triumph. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Mauricio Abreu, we are reminded not only of the atrocities committed but also of those who risked everything to make a difference. This photo serves as an invitation to reflect on our shared history and honor those who fought against injustice. Visiting Apteka Pod Orlem is not just an exploration into Krakow's rich heritage; it is an opportunity to pay homage to individuals like Tadeusz Pankiewicz whose selflessness continues to inspire generations today.
