Wyjątkowo długa linia

Built like the house it describes, from cellar to top floor, the book tells the lives of the tenants of a four-hundred-year-old building in Lublin's Old Town. Its owner was the poet Franciszka Arnsztajnowa, a friend of the poet Józef Czechowicz, whose lifeline was exceptionally long and who said nothing bad could happen to him. Piecing together documents and fragments, the author follows the families, a barber, the Felhendlers, almost all of whom were killed in the war, and Leon Felhendler, leader of the Sobibór revolt, who returned to Lublin only to be shot by an unknown hand.
