3. ul. Roosevelta 17, Dom Literatury in Łódź

“People and Gods”, dir. Bodo Kox, 2020, Telewizja Polska
On one of the most cinematic streets in Lodz, at number 17, there is a luxurious tenement house whose first owner was the Lodz industrialist, Konrad Haessner. Today, the building is the seat of the Lodz House of Literature.
It is here, in the gate clearance, that we meet the protagonists of the series "People and Gods’, directed by Bodo Kox. We are taken to Warsaw in 1941. Members of the liquidation squad of the Home Army counter-intelligence are gathering before a planned action. Their task is to execute death sentences on Polish traitors. This time, Igo Sym, a Polish-Austrian actor who collaborated with the Nazis (Lesław Żurek), is sentenced to death by a hood court operating at the Union of Armed Struggle. At this time, Lieutenant Leszek Zaremba, alias ‘Onyx’ (Jacek Knap), who is in charge of the execution, is standing at the gate with other members of the unit and they watch the entrance to the tenement across the street from Sym's flat.
