Immortal Jewish Cemeteries

Photographs by Rudolf Klein

Traditional Jewish cemeteries are like immense pages of old chronicles or the Scripture, handwritten on the soil with gravestones as letters and lanes as background, dotted with ritual buildings and framed by long walls. Modern Jewish graves depart from this world in order to bring Jewish cemeteries closer to the Christian world. Photographs by Rudolf Klein offer an insight into this world.

Curator: Mihály Medve

The exhibition is the program of the Budapest Photo Festival and organized in cooperation with Műcsarnok, Kunsthalle Budapest.
