On November 19, 1942, just on the sidewalk between two trees on Adam Mickiewicz Street (now Taras Shevchenko Street), the Nazi executioner cut short the life of one of the most mysterious figures of Polish literature – Bruno Schulz. Despite the fairly modest creative output (if we speak in quantitative terms), the legacy of B. Schultz is a mysterious puzzle in which the unique multi-ethnic and multicultural world of Galicia is encrypted. It is to this figure that the essay of the deputy director of the Museum "Memory of the Jewish People and the Holocaust in Ukraine" is dedicated, Dr. Yehor Vradii.
