Tadeusz Pankiewicz, a Polish Roman Catholic pharmacist, used to operate out of this pharmacy during the Nazi occupation of Poland. He became known as one of the Righteous Among The Nations by Yad Vashem for his role in rescuing innumerable Jews during the Holocaust. His establishment has now been turned into a multi-media museum. The building looks exactly as it did during the time of Nazi occupation. It explores life in the ghetto, the various methods by which people survived, and the post-war history of Jews in Krakow. The museum also explores the activities of the pharmacist himself, especially his account of the Holocaust as he saw it. It's an interactive museum and you can actually handle the artifacts and photographs related to those times. Even though it's a small museum people usually end up staying for more than one hour.
