Romania
The photo was taken in the mountainous area near Cerașu Commune, Prahova County, at the cemetery known as “Tabla Buții.” It shows the graves of Romanian soldiers who were buried there after making a last stand against German troops during World War II. The memorial was built on the very spot where they fell. Although I have no personal connection to this place, my grandfather told our family that many Romanians regard it as a poignant reminder of what our country has endured and the hardships we have overcome.
