Lily Ventura de Sciaky

She was born in Paris, France in 1933. When the war started Lily was 7 years old, as France surrendered she had to leave Paris to escape from the Germans. After a long journey she, her brother and parents arrived in Nice, in the south of France. They were safe for a long time as the Germans did not reach the southern part of France. The Nazis invaded the northern part of France and the southern part belonged to the Italians who were allied at the time with Germany. In 1942 the Italians had surrendered to the Americans and southern France was invaded by the Germans. During the first raid in Nice, more than 1,000 Jews were arrested. Most are transferred to Drancy before being deported to Auschwitz. Thanks to a friendship with the Uruguayan consul, they decide to apply for visas to leave France. During one of the raids, she and her family are not captured because they hide in the apartment of the Uruguayan consul. In 1947 they have all the necessary papers, travel certificates, political and social certificates, transit visas, etc. After a voyage of almost four weeks on the Formosa, they arrive in Montevideo. The four members of the family obtained the right to stay in Uruguay and a few months later settled permanently in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Testimony: "I'm not a person to share my lived experience much because talking about this subject actually disturbs me, it still disturbs me very much 70 years later because it's not that I'm reliving it but I'm living it all over again as the images come into my head." 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.
