Alice Steiner de Salamon

by Aaron Sosa

She was born in Satu Mare, Romania, on September 25, 1925. In 1944, when the Germans invaded the country, the family home was left inside the ghetto and hundreds of people came to live with them. Within weeks they were sent to Auschwitz, where their mother, grandfather and younger brother died. Near the end of the war, she was part of the so-called "Death Marches", being taken to various camps until liberation. Upon returning to her hometown she married Yoska Friedman and together they left in 1948 for Austria and then Canada, where they remained until 1954, when they arrived in Venezuela. Testimony: "I was very much affected by the war, but then I was infected by life in Venezuela, my family, my work and my environment. As you can see, I am still here, and I hope to stay a little longer to enjoy my family. The important thing is that the tragedy that happened to us does not happen again. I hope it never happens again, that people never allow it to happen again". Caracas - Venezuela 2010 aaronsosa.eth.co www.aaronsosaphotography.com Digital Photography Size: 5000 x 3321px 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.
