Eva Fon de Rosenthal

by Aaron Sosa

She was born on September 9, 1925 in Budapest, Hungary. The Hungarian State, in 1938, was allied with the Germans until its president, in October 1944, decided to break that pact and became an enemy of the Nazis. At the age of 15, she was forbidden to study because she was Jewish. She lived locked up in houses whose fronts were marked with the yellow star. She had the yellow star sewn into her clothes. She worked as a slave digging wells. She almost died of typhus, the working conditions and the way of life were totally inhumane and because of this, Eva contracted the disease from the contaminated water. After getting false certificates to leave the country, she decided to look for her parents and found out that her mother was in the Ghetto and was later deported, although she did not go because the train cars were full. She walked a long way looking for her father and was told that he was deported, she kept looking until she was told that he was in the rows further back. When she saw him she hardly recognized him. In 1948 she arrived with her parents in Argentina and since then she has lived in Buenos Aires with her daughter. Testimony: "I would like to turn the page of my teenage past, between the ages of 15 and 20 I suffered many humiliations and immediate death threats. "We were taken to live in Jewish houses where in each room there was a family, they put yellow stars on our clothes, and we women from 18 to 30 years old had to go and do forced labor. One thought that what was ordered we had to comply or else the consequence was going to be worse. We had to walk 70 kilometers to a village where we made deep wells. I lived as "an inferior being". "The tragedy I suffered in my soul was at the moment I got out of the deportation line. I escaped and saw my parents go to their death. When the conflict ended I saw hundreds of people with yellow stars shouting we are saved." 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 60 survivors: 20 from Venezuela 25 from Uruguay 15 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.
