Hélène Goldsztajn Gutkowski

by Aaron Sosa

Hélène was born in Paris in 1940. After the great roundup of July 1942 and before fleeing, her parents managed to place her in the care of a Catholic family with whom she lived for more than two years. Her parents and her brother, who, after obtaining false documents, had managed to cross the demarcation line, lived clandestinely first in a village in the free zone and then near Paris. Once the Parisian region was liberated, in August 1944, they were reunited with the girl. Hélène arrived in Argentina in 1961 where, after a few years at the Alliance Française, she graduated as a sociologist. She is one of the founding members of the Asociación Generaciones de la Shoá in Argentina and author of the books Vidas (editorial Shalom, 1986), Vidas en las colonias (editorial Pardès, 1991) and Érase una vez... Sefarad (editorial Lumen, 1999). She has three children and six grandchildren. Testimony: "Sometimes it is hard for me to feel like a survivor. I am part of the one hundred thousand Jewish children in Europe who were hidden to be saved, of the one and a half million who were murdered." 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.
