Tonka Schilling de Borgman

At the time of this portrait and interview Tonka was in a home for the elderly in Caracas and had lost her sight completely. She was born in Drohobycz, Poland -today Ukraine-, on January 15, 1910. At the beginning of the persecutions, thanks to her brother-in-law, the whole family escaped and was hidden in various non-Jewish houses. She married at first marriage to Moises Horowitz, who was murdered in Boryslaw, and from this marriage was born Isodoro, her first son. After the war she remarried Abraham Borgman, with whom she had her daughter Gueña. Thanks to her sister and brother-in-law, they arrived in Venezuela in 1947. Testimony: "Why did I survive? I don't know, my God helped. Every time I thank God and I ask myself if it is possible what happened. Very few people survived. Today people go to dances, people don't know what happened, they don't think it really happened. If I hadn't been there, I wouldn't be able to believe that it was possible. 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.
