Grave marker, Cuenca Cemetery, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2011

Nearly all of the graves here reflect the traditions of the Catholic Church. Yet there are also about 25 Jewish people buried in this cemetery, most of the burials dating back to the 1940s and 50s. Cuenca’s Jewish community apparently no longer survives, and this section of the cemetery offers the only reminder of its former existence. This is one of those 25 graves. A single withered leaf rests on the headstone, lending a temporary touch of gold to an abandoned grave.
