In search for the graves of the former dictators of the country, I discovered Ghencea Cemetery as a romantic corner of the city with graves overgrown by flowers, monumental statues, and resting places of aviation heroes.
On my first visit to Ghencea Cemetery, on a chilly, grey winter afternoon, I had little time to search for the grave of the Ceaucescu's. After their mock trial during the Romanian Revolution, after they had fled Bucharest when a rally turned sour in December 1989, they were shot on the spot, and their bodies ultimately ended up in the cemetery I was walking in - even though there are still rumours that the graves of Ghencea Cemetery supposedly holding their remains, are empty. With the misgivings of most Romanians concerning the couple who held power for decades in Romania, it was decided that the graves of Nicolae and Elena could not be next to each other. In fact, on my first visit, I only spotted the grave of Nicolae, tucked away between other, more importantly looking, graves. A lone candle was lit on his grave, there were some flowers that obviously had started to wilt some time ago. As the day was coming to a close, and daylight was disappearing into the darkish December afternoon, the sight had a certain hint of tragedy.
