Description

She was born in Krakow, Poland in 1936. She was the only child of married couple Helena Safier and Chaim Peterseil. When the war began, she was only 3 years old. She lived for a time in the Krakow Ghetto and at her father's urging, she and her mother left the ghetto for the Aryan zone with false papers obtained by her father. He stayed behind so as not to risk them, for fear of being recognized as a Jew. Her father was taken to the Lodz ghetto and two other Polish camps near Krakow and also spent three years in the Buchenwald concentration camp. Clara survived by pretending to be a Christian. She and her mother left the ghetto one night without knowing where to go. They were helped by their physical appearance as well as their language, as they both spoke Polish naturally. They passed through several hiding places. In 1943 they arrived at a Catholic institution called the YMCA. Clara felt that her mother was a heroine and her father sacrificed himself to save them. At the end of the war, Clara and her mother searched for her father and received the terrible news of his death. Finally, on August 5, 1948, they arrived in Uruguay when Clara was 12 years old. She managed to build a beautiful family with her husband, two children and five grandchildren. Testimony: "It is beautiful to be part of this project; I am a survivor and like the other survivors, I remember the six million murdered whom we will never, never forget. Humanity will always, always remember them and we will never allow it to happen again. Thank you for making me feel that the soul still beats in all of us." 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.
