The concept of the cultural heritage used and even abused in statements made in politics, the press and scientific publications, usually denotes historical monuments. The author of the article proposes a concise presentation of his views concerning this type of legacy and so-called cultural goods, part of which deserve to be described as cultural evil. It would be difficult to consider, for example, the Palace of Culture and Science, foreign monuments and traces of the partitions or occupation to be national property or legacy. In conclusion, the author claims that national identification is threatened by the deprivation of culture; on the other hand, the deprivation of a nation means that culture becomes a collection of relics and incomprehensible rituals.
