Home can be defined in several ways. Home is often referred to as a physical structure, a house or a dwelling place. At the same time, it can be grounded in a number of feelings, a certain level of energy or state of mind that are attached to a physical site. Altogether, a combination of tangible and intangible aspects creates a sense of dwelling, allowing us to experience “Home”. However, the intangible aspect of a home is hard to grasp. While the materiality of the Jewish heritage in Krakow, its architecture and spaces, arise in front of everyone walking around Kazimierz, is there a way to transmit the meaning that was once ascribed to those locations by the former residents? This study explores how the trialectics of spatial perception can assist in the acknowledgement of the sites that are usually overlookedand further be used for the construction of the heritage places excerpted from the Holocaust survivors’ memoirs. The study suggests that memoirs have the potential to revitalize the character of the urban area and change a perspective towards existing but overlooked Jewish material heritage in Cracow.
