The Border between Time and Eternity
Historical cemeteries of the Germans in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia
Historical cemeteries of Germans in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia following on „Jewish Cemeteries in Bohemia and Moravia“ (1997): this exhibition displays abandoned cemeteries (on 64 panels) of the former German population in border regions of the Czech Republic as fragments of a forgotten era. Whether overgrown, ruined or re-established and taken care of; the old German graves and cemeteries will one day disappear, as no place of burial exists forever. 27 amateur and professional photographers, most of them Czech, were drawn to this topic. Through their photographs they let the atmosphere and fascination of these strange places be felt, showing us how they continue to have an impact on us – in a positive way.
