Abstract
This article explores the link between heritage, antisemitism, and controversies. It discusses the material traces in the city of Brussels referring to a medieval legend of the Sacrament of Miracle, including stained glass, plaques, and buildings. Several opinions about the link between heritage and antisemitism are reviewed. How problematic are the remaining relics and traces in the city of Brussels and even in a building where among others a library of the European Commission is based? Should this be explicitly addressed or rather problematized?
