During the World War II in Krakow Ghetto lived one man who wasn't Jew. He was Tadeusz Pankiewicz, owner of the only pharmacy in the ghetto. The pharmacy still exist, now it's a museum - one of those you cannot miss being in Krakow.
The exhibition in The Eagle Pharmacy not only presents historical design of the place but also tells us a story about Krakow Ghetto. In 1941-1943 the pharmacy witnessed the tragedy of Jewish inhabitants and finally the liquidation of the ghetto. Every room focuses on different aspect of the history. One will show us everyday life in ghetto, another will tell us about Mr. Pankiewicz, the third - about the pharmacy itself. The Eagle is great addition to the nearby Schindler's Factory museum - it tells the same story but from the different point of view.
The pharmacy is open everyday - personally I recommend visiting it on Monday when you can enter for free. More information can be found on mhk.pl.
