===Later years=== In 1940 Pozerski reached the age of retirement from the Pasteur Institute, but he continued his work in a small laboratory set up for him in the attic.<ref>J-C. L., p. 817</ref> During the German occupation of France during the [[Second World War]] he organised public lectures and cooking demonstrations at the Institute to help people with cooking and eating under the severe rationing then in force. He demonstrated how to make the most of what food was available, how to derive the most nutritional value from it, how to make the best use of unrationed foods, and energy-efficient cooking techniques. Pack comments that titles of the books Pomiane published during the war reflect his concerns, such as {{lang|fr|Cuisine et restrictions}} (Cooking and Restrictions) and {{lang|fr|Manger quand-méme}} (Eating Anyway).<ref name=pack/> After his official retirement from the Pasteur Institute Pozerski continued his lectures for the Institute of Food Hygiene and acted as guide for visitors to the Pasteur Institute. An obituarist wrote: {{blockindent|None of the familiars of the house will be able to forget his white silhouette: blouse, apron, skullcap, white moustache (so as not to turn it yellow, he had stopped smoking), nor his smile, nor the kindness of his gaze, when he preceded the heterogeneous group of visitors, sometimes reduced to a class of little girls of the 8th grade whose soul a teacher wanted to elevate by a great example.<ref>J-C. L., p. 818</ref>}} Pozersky died in Paris on 26 January 1964 at the age of 88.<ref name=pack/>
