Złota 7/9 — In memory of the first residents of the house, 1937

ZŁOTA 7, APT. 8

A surgeon who in September 1939 refused to flee the bombarded city, and operated in the ghetto for three years.

II

A family cut in two by the war — between Warsaw and Lwów, between two ghettos four hundred kilometres apart.

III

ZŁOTA 9, APT. 6

He survived a leap from the train to Treblinka and a year in hiding; she left the house on 8 May 1943 and never came back.

IV

ZŁOTA 7, APT. 24

A mathematician who calculated the length of human life for a living, and his wife — separated in 1939, they died apart.

V

ZŁOTA 7/9, APT. 8

Not a single photograph of them survived — the picture shows the house in which they lived.

VI

ZŁOTA 7

Heir of a family whose firm was a byword in Warsaw — co-owner of the trading house on Grzybowski Square.
