They Will Never Be Forgotten

More about the book

The study explores the symbolic significance of renovations at the Cristo Rei Municipal Cemetery in Toledo, emphasizing the integration of new and preserved elements. Focusing on two key monuments, particularly block 27, which honors burials from 1953 to 1972, it examines how forgotten names were acknowledged through plaques in the central corridor. The "Arches of Life" symbolize interrupted lives, with varying sizes reflecting the different lengths of those lives, thereby adding depth to the cemetery's memorialization efforts.
