“…Rebuilding a destroyed site is however not the only and may not even be the most important action one can take. Kalman (2017) and Khalaf (2017) have recently suggested that there can be a number of ways to use cultural heritage to mitigate trauma after disasters or conflicts. If we recognize that cultural heritage is not merely a set of material artefacts, we also need to consider the immaterial aspects of it, namely those of memories, identity, customs and associations.…”

Finally, in a book chapter about "How to be Authentic in the UNESCO World Heritage System", the author points out: "When one scrutinises what the World Heritage institutions really look for, it is in fact continuity over time, be it continuity of material, form, usage, or some other aspect mentioned in the Venice Charter or the Nara Document.…”
