Description

Miriam Bek, born in Israel and captured with her family by the Nazis in April 1944 in Hungary, had been liberated exactly one year later, after having passed through 11 concentration camps: Rechlin, Ravensbrück, Oranienburg and Malchow, among others, including Auschwitz, a concentration and extermination camp, located in Poland, where 90% of the people who entered as prisoners died; in Auschwitz alone it is estimated that one million people died. He wrote a book together with his son Miguel Kertesz called "A Voice for Memory." Miriam Bek is 96 years old and chose to start over in Uruguay. She currently lives in Florida, USA. Words of Miriam Bek in the video: "With this story I want to contribute so that many more people know what we went through and no one else goes through something similar". Miriam Bek ———————————— 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.
