The home of Bronisław and Krystyna Wróblewski in Wilno was a popular meeting place for local artists with regular discussions on art and literature attended by Wojciech Kossak (1856–1942) among others. When the war broke out, the city was taken over by the Soviets, then by the Lithuanians, and finally, by the Germans, who in August 1941 (alerted by pro-Nazi locals), conducted a brutal search of the property. Prof. Wróblewski died of a heart attack in the process, surrounded by family.[4]
