Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article is the memory of neighbourly relations in the village of Manasterz during World War II and the postwar period. The anthropological analysis is aimed at identifying various factors influencing the dynamics of these relations. In-depth ethnographic interviews conducted in a small area among local residents helped to understand what neighbourhood means to my interlocutors and how they perceive it. I was primarily interested in how the changing relations of the authorities, nationality and the accompanying socio-political context influenced neighbourly relations. By analyzing the collected material and the reflections of the interviewees themselves related to the issue that interests me, I try to find turning points in the discussed relationships.
