Summary/Abstract: Among the earliest witnesses of Bruno Schulz’s life known by Jerzy Ficowski were twolawyers from Drohobych, Michał Chajes and Izydor Friedman (after the war TadeuszLubowiecki). Although they played a particularly large role in the early formation ofknowledge about Schulz and gave a detailed characteristic of the writer, they were notmentioned by Jerzy Ficowski in his Regions of the Great Heresy and remained hidden witnesses. The reason lies deep in the realm of genre conventions of Regions, conditionedby literary culture of Ficowski who, formed in the circle of the nineteenth-century novels, great realism and vie romancée, omitted quotes and references to other people’stestimonies and, therefore, eliminated the possibility of determining facts.
