Nis Cemetery
Nis, Belgrade, Serbia

A view of homes of up to 500 Gypsies, or Roma, from the southern Serbian city of Nis, south of Belgrade.  The homes have been built on top of one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in the Balkans. The local Gypsies started building their houses on the 17-century graveyard back in the 1950s', first erecting makeshift, temporary buildings, which, as the time passed, turned into of concrete and brick homes.
