An old synagogue in Romania. A beautiful yet sombre disused place of worship that has stood sentinel for more than a century. Now its doors are closed and its facade is crumbling with the passage of time.

This 1920s Art Deco crematorium in Romania served the country’s secular minority until it was closed in the 1990s.
During the Romanian Communist party rule, crematoriums became the state-sanctioned funeral method of the Soviet-backed regime (as well as a convenient way to dispose of those who fell out of favour with the party).
