Kałuszyn - the story of a friendship

An etude dealing with the subject of heritage without heirs (stateless heritage) and heritage adoption. “Whose heritage?” is a question that local actors (individuals, but also local governments) ask themselves when facing the dilemma of practical management of (post)Jewish property in the community. Most often this question is asked in the context of Jewish cemeteries. Who assumes the responsibility of taking care of this heritage? What is determinant: the sense of local community - treating Jewish and non-Jewish residents as one community or the difference in fate and identity?
