Beit Haim, House of Life.
This is what the Jewish cemeteries are called. This is the name given to the Jewish cemeteries of Moldavia and Bukovina too. A house of life built in stone. A house of life that each of us should visit. This earth has received the Jews who are awaiting their afterlife. This earth has become a sacred place, another promised land.
Monuments, untold stories, past lives, memories carved in stone and … silence.
Some stones are still standing while others are leaning on trees or on the cemetery’s fence, which looks like a Wailing Wall. Many are broken, torn, eaten by time, lop-sided, fallen, swallowed by earth and vegetation… but all of them without exception “speak silently” of a Destiny.
