Since it was May Day not long ago I visited and took some photos of the Pantheon of Revolutionaries in Kerepesi cemetary. (Yes, I'm a communist bear with me.)
After that I went on a little walk and found something truly fascinating, a huge part of the cemetary turned completely into jungle, in which old graves are hidden, forgotten since decades! It was a most breathtaking trip.

Yes this cemetary has quite a story. Unfortunately we Hungarians weren't able to jump out of WW2 like Romania & later Bulgaria did, instead thanks to Horthy's complete inability to keep control in his hand the nazi puppet Szálasi rose to power.
In 1944 the figths reached the city of Budapest, it was a bloodshed, they had to fight for every house. The cemetary seemed like an optimal ground to advance as apart from a few larger crypts there were no difficult obstacles in the way. Therefore the Fiume Road Cemetary became one of the most brutal battlefields in the city.
After WW2 the majority of the graves were renovated by it's owners but still like 1/3 of the cemetary is in post-war condition, because the relatives died, or emigrated from Budapest.

If you liked this photo be sure to check out my others, as the title shows this is a photo-session of this cemetary. :)
