Description

He was born in August 1927 in a small town called Svir, which in those years was part of Poland. He lived there with his parents, his little sister Itele and a large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. In 1941 he began his difficult journey through the ghettos of his own city and those of Michaliszki and Vilna. He even had to hide in a cesspool for hours in order to survive. From 1943 onwards he was sent to 6 concentration and labor camps, which started new and terrible experiences he never forgot. Among them were Stutthof and Bergen-Belsen. Out of a whole family of more than 40 people, only Isaac, his mother and a cousin survived. He arrived in Uruguay in 1946 with her; an uncle, his mother's brother, was waiting for them there. Isaac formed a beautiful family with his wife Raquel Hecht, four children and 5 grandchildren. Died in the year 2021. Testimony: "To those who heard my story, what I went through, what other people went through, what I saw people suffer, tell everyone and don't forget that this can happen again anywhere; please pass on what happened in the Shoah (Holocaust)." 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.
