Sara Rus

Schejene Maria Laskier de Rus, known as Sara Rus, was born in 1927 in the city of Lodz, Poland. At the age of twelve she suffered the violence of Nazism and was moved with her family to the Lodz ghetto. Later she suffered subhuman living conditions in the Auschwitz concentration camp and finally she was taken to Mauthausen, where she was liberated. When the war ended, Sara and her husband Bernardo, survivors of the concentration camps, emigrated to Argentina with the illusion of starting a new life and building a family. Sara managed to have two children, overcoming the organic difficulties resulting from a body deteriorated by her long stay in the concentration camps. Thus, on July 24, 1950, Daniel was born and five years later, Natalia. In 1977, once again, Sara was a victim of the violence of the State Terrorism: on July 15 her son Daniel was kidnapped at the National Atomic Energy Commission, where he was developing scientific research tasks. From that moment on, Sara began her search for him, making countless national and international efforts. Today, Sara is a member of Mothers of Plaza de Mayo - Founding Line and of the Association of Survivors of Nazi Persecution, embodying her double condition of survivor of the Nazi genocide and victim of the last civil-military dictatorship in Argentina. Testimony: "In Auschwitz-Birkenau the men were taken out directly. I never heard from my father again. I dared to approach an SS man with a whip in the middle of the square. People looked at me. I thought they were going to kill me. He looks at me and says, "How dare you approach me." I told him in German: "Why did you take my mother away from me? If I think today what I did... He looks at me and says, "Where do you speak German from?". I told him that German was spoken in my house. He asked me, "Which one is your mother?", and he said, "Go get her." The first save. From then on my mother was always with me. She survived the war with me. But we went through very hard times." "In all the experiences that I tell the young people, from my life in Poland, the terrible experience of the war, to the loss of my son who disappeared in '77, what I mainly want to leave them is a message of love. I fight not to forget. I fight for Memory. So that the Nazis, those there and those here, will never have the strength they have had. Memory is the most important thing. If we don't have memory, things happen again".

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.
