Description

She was born on April 4, 1934 in Poland, in the village of Brok-Ostrow near Warsaw. Her family consisted of her parents and her little sister. In September 1939 the Nazis entered their village; she was only 5 years old and they were separated from her father, leaving her with her mother and a 6-week-old baby sister. The next day the killings, raids and interrogations began. Catherine's family and others were taken to a camp near the Soviet border. While in that camp they learned that the Soviets accepted the arrival of Jewish displaced persons. So the family, her parents, sister, maternal grandparents and uncles decided to escape from that camp, with the help of a Polish friend. They managed to flee to the area of the Urals, to an important city where they spent the war as refugees from 1939 to 1945. Life there was not easy, they lived in a military barrack, in a small space where he slept with his parents and sister. The family decided to emigrate to Uruguay. They arrived on June 28, 1947, where a maternal uncle who had arrived before the war was waiting for them. Catalina formed a beautiful family, with her two children, 6 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren with whom she continues to enjoy this adventure that is life. Testimony: "My greatest message would be for me to thank life, to thank the country Uruguay for how I was able to develop with dignity with the little we had when we arrived; to thank the free, secular and compulsory education of this country that allows us all access to education. My testimony is a testimony of my life trajectory from birth to the present day. From the beginning all my internal war began; no matter where we were, the war was with me. Although I live in Montevideo which is a blessing from G-d, the war is always present in my mind and that is what it means to be a survivor. Montevideo - Uruguay 2020 aaronsosa.eth.co www.aaronsosaphotography.com Digital Photography Size: 6000 x 4000px 300 DPI About this project: In the history of mankind there can be found no other crime so heinous, nor so coldly calculated, as the one that as that which annihilated millions of human beings in the Nazi concentration camps. This project has allowed me to enter for a brief moment into the lives of an important group of these exiles and survivors, who arrived in Latin American lands many years ago to start a new life; and who have given me the honor of knowing a little about them and their experiences, as well as to photograph them and immortalize them through photography. So far in minting this collection I have been able to portray 58 survivors: 20 from Venezuela 25 from Uruguay 13 from Argentina The first part of the survivors that arrived in Venezuela were minted as 1/1 NFTs on the ETH blockchain. I have decided to make the survivors that arrived in Uruguay available in editions of 50 on the Tezos blockchain and the survivors from Argentina will be minted later. My intention with the sale of the NFTs is to self-finance the project to give it continuity. Soon I must travel to Chile where there are 13 survivors waiting to be portrayed and then continue moving around Latin America to continue with the project. Another of the main objectives is to finance the printing of a book that gathers all the portraits, biographies and testimonies of each survivor.
