Pedro Kalb

Pedro was born in Leipzig, Germany in 1929. His father, Haskel, born in 1899, came from Poland, and his mother, Reisl Adler, born in 1906, from Austria. By 1933 Hitler was elected Chancellor, and in that year his father, sensing the danger, arranged for his family to emigrate. The family arrives in France and rents a house in Enghein-les-Bains. In 1939 his father, who is in New York on business, decides to stay in the United States where, if the situation becomes more critical, it will be easier for him, he thinks, to help his family to leave France. The following year he tries to obtain visas for his wife and two children, but the affidavit system decreed by the U.S. government soon forces him to give up the illusion of reuniting his family in the United States. In 1940, the Montmorency plant was bombed. Pedro remembers that he was at school at the time and that all the children and staff had to run down to the basement and were given gas masks. His father, still in New York, tries to obtain visas for four South American countries. In November of that year they set sail for Brazil on the steamship Angola. In the middle of the sea, the ship is intercepted by a German submarine. Nazi sailors board the Angola and check the cargo and the documents of the passengers, they are saved by the false documentation they had. Already in Brazil, Pedro enters the Anglo-American school of Copacabana. His father had planned to join them in Rio, where he thought the family would settle. But one of his former clients, who had managed to emigrate to Argentina a year earlier, was able to obtain an entry permit for each of them, so it was decided that the family would meet in Buenos Aires to settle there. Testimony: "I have dedicated my whole life to give lectures on the Shoah, especially in Catholic schools so that they know what happened once in the world and understand that it is something that should not be repeated. I do not want to go into details of the tortures, persecutions and murders that were committed, but remember that they killed six million defenseless Jews in the countries they occupied and this would have continued if Germany had won the war". 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.
