The article discusses a study by Alexiey Fedaruk, a graduate of the “The Nieśwież Academy ” International Postgraduate Summer School, distinguished in 2004 in the Professor Jan Zachwatowicz competition held by the Polish National ICOMOS Committee for the best diploma work concerning the revalorisation of historical monuments. The winner proposed a project of a lapidarium marking the site of a Jewish cemetery in Brześć (Brest). The competition jury took into consideration the high level of the work and the author’s familiarity with, and sensitivity towards Jewish culture and religion, consistent methodic realisation, and educational and popularisation assets, of particular importance in Belarus where, for historical reasons, the problem of Jewish culture remains insufficiently known.
