In my previous post, I wrote about visiting the Polish cemetery.
I had to visit another cemetery also before I got the internship to go to Poland.
My family in the 19th-century was very diverse regarding nationality...
I had one part that came from Armenia/Gruzia... they took 10 years to get accepted fully by Debrecen...
They were merchants, textile merchants... They had a huge commercial house.. Nowadays it is an insurance house ;)
They were buried in a place that was moved and became the I. parcel of the big cemetery in Debrecen...
Guess what was built over their original place, where their tombs were in the first place?
A huge shopping center, full of fashion shops...
And a theater..
Why?
As they were the founders of the big theater of Debrecen, they even paid for 10 years the actors...
Was it the only thing they did?
Nope...
This family brought Rotary to Debrecen...
They paid several poets...
They paid for several sculptures in the city...
Who were they? It was a big family...
Some of the girls never reached 18 years, as they died earlier, but the painting about them is one of the most important art of the time, which was for a while in the National Gallery...
And a lot more...
So if you see me in the shopping center, in Debrecen and I want to drink a coffee next time... Sh*t the F*ck *P!!!
Or I will send my ancestors after you...
