The intention is to introduce the readers to the story of man who, by a coincidence and one very hazardous decision, rose to become a hero.

By staying in the ghetto and helping its residents, Tadeusz Pankiewicz contravened the generally accepted rules and behaved as if he had lost his sense of self-preservation. "We were not heroes", hemaintained. "It was just our bounden duty." This is enough of a reason to become interested in that remarkable individual.
