Summary/Abstract: A sketch showing that the diverse and years-long activity pursued by Tomasz Pietrasiewicz and the “Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre” Centre constitutes a multi-motif entity whose value lies not only in a concentric movement associated with the creation of an “Ark of Memory”, but also a centrifugal force of inspiration. The author recalled that it was the Centre, cooperating with Władysław Panas, that initiated the work of Polish intellectuals and representatives of the arts aimed at restoring the memory of Bruno Schulz to the town of Drohobycz; by creating instruments intended for dealing with the abandoned memory of the exterminated residents of the “Jewish town” in Lublin it initiated and inspired an actual work with memory, involving its existential, social, and artistic dimensions.
