EL SALVADOR. San Salvador. 1988. Many families, displaced by fighting and poverty during the war, squatted where they could find land. In San Salvador’s General Cemetery and along it’s edge, lived dozens of such families, represented here by three generations. On this «Day Of The Dead», family members remember their dead and picnic on the graves of deceased relatives. El Salvador is a Roman Catholic country, the only country in the world to be named after the Christian Savior with its villages and towns named after Catholic saints.
