Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Kalisz, one of the oldest towns in Poland (Wielkopolska), is the place where Prince Bolesław the Pious granted in 1264 the Statute of Kalisz, the first charter protecting the rights of Jews in Poland, which became the model for Jewish liberties in the kingdom. The Jewish community of Kalisz, one of the oldest in the country, was deported and exterminated during the Shoah following the German annexation of 1939.

The days of this book
This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Kalisz give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
