Pedro Roth

by Aaron Sosa

Pedro was born in Budapest, Hungary, on July 8, 1938. His father was captured and murdered in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. He lived in hiding with his mother and his mother's sisters in the Budapest ghetto. Most of his family was murdered during the Holocaust. He arrived in Argentina at the age of 14. Before that, he was in Transylvania, Romania, and from there he went to Israel, only to arrive in Argentina, just to see the bombing of the Plaza de Mayo in 1955. He is a tireless worker, an ideator of projects, faithful to his principles. He studied film at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes in La Plata. He began as a photographer of artists, social and art galleries. Later, in the 60's, he ventured into painting with the artists of the Di Tella Institute. He currently works as an artist in Buenos Aires and is a great collector of contemporary Argentine art. Testimony: "I spent my childhood hiding in the Budapest ghetto. Four months in a cellar without seeing sunlight because they were bombing the city. My father was killed in Auschwitz. I am memory, I must remember everything for me, for my murdered relatives and for the six million Jews who cannot tell their story." Buenos Aires - Argentina 2023 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 64 survivors: 20 from Venezuela 25 from Uruguay 19 from Argentina The first part of the survivors that arrived in Venezuela were minted as 1/1 NFTs on the ETH blockchain. The second part of the survivors that arrived in Venezuela, the 25 survivors that arrived in Uruguay and those from Argentina will be available on the Tezos blockchain. 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 keep 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. Collectors who have supported any of the collections by purchasing 1/1, one or several editions will appear on the project sponsors page inside the book.
