[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I am not a fan of graveyards but I am interessted in history and Worms is one of the most historic towns in Germany, dating back more than 2000 years. Ever since jewish pwople have lived here and they left their traces. The graveyard I took this picture bears memories of citizens who have lived and worked here in a time beyond imagination - 2000 years ago. They were also berried here and on the jewish cemetary you can follow their traced through the centuries.
Some of them were ordinary people and families and some were famous or priests. Jewish people from all over the world come here to visit the graveyard and some leave wihing stones with little notes on the gravestones. I tried to keep the post as anonymous as possible and I hope that it will not affect anybody because the gravestones are unreadable.
Possibly some of the magic of this place and the spirit of 2000 years of history can shine thru.
