Eagle Pharmacy (Apteka pod Orlem)

Established in 1941, the Eagle Pharmacy (Apteka Pod Orłem) in Krakow, Poland, became a significant refuge and symbol of resistance during the Nazi occupation. Tadeusz Pankiewicz, the only Pole permitted to work within the Krakow Ghetto, used his pharmacy to provide essential aid and support to the Jewish community. Today, the pharmacy serves as a branch of the Historical Museum of Krakow, offering visitors a poignant glimpse into the struggles and resilience of those who lived under these oppressive conditions.
