Tadeusz Pankiewicz, a Polish pharmacist, owner of Under the Eagle pharmacy declined the offer to run another pharmacy on the non-Jewish side. Under the Eagle was the only pharmacy that remained open in the Ghetto.nUnder the Eagle became a strategic location for the imprisoned Jews that would be frequently given free medication by Pankiewicz and a safe meeting point for the Jewish leaders.
