Focused on the post-1944 history of Jewish cemeteries in threetowns: Iŭje (Belarus), Berezne (Ukraine) and Biłgoraj (Poland) thispaper examines different local trajectories of repurposing andoverwriting Jewish cemeteries. This comparative study goes beyondthe top-down policy analysis to include the ways the localpopulation participated in and reacted to these acts of overwriting.We complement the historical consideration with an ethnographicapproach that explores how ‘overwritten’ Jewish cemeteries havebeen used by the local inhabitants, how they featured on theirmental maps, what myths and narratives they triggered, and whatspatial practices their new status afforded
