Have you seen the film "The Pianist" starring Adrian Brody? If you have then you already know the story of Mr. Szpilman. The story is based on the autobiographical book The Pianist, a World War II memoir by the Polish-Jewish pianist and composer Władysław Szpilman. This has been one of my favorite films and it made an impact on me when I saw it and the story itself has always amazed me and captivated my attention.
Last night, a few blocks from my new home, my finacee took me to the apartment where Władysław Szpilman was hidden for a year by Wilm Hosenfeld.
Outside of the residence you will find this art installation of "Guards" watchign the entrance to the hiding spot many years earlier. These are amazing pieces and very pronounced as you walk by them lit up at night. There is a commemorative plaque that also marks the spot.
There is much to be found on the subject. Here is the Wiki article on Mr. Szpilman. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C5%82adys%C5%82aw_Szpilman
