Description
Survivors: A Photographic Portrait of Hope and Continuity. Renowned photographer Aliza Auerbach spent five years creating this powerful album, which showcases 29 black-and-white portraits of Holocaust survivors from 17 countries. Accompanying each portrait is the survivor's autobiography, providing a personal glimpse into their experiences. The album also features photographs of personal objects kept by the survivors, such as items from their pre-war homes or those taken from the camps and ghettos. A striking contrast to the black-and-white portraits are the colour photographs of the survivors' families, which span multiple generations. These vibrant images highlight the remarkable story of how these individuals have created new lives in Israel, despite the unimaginable challenges they faced during the Holocaust. The album is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for hope, resilience, and survival. Through this poignant collection, Aliza Auerbach offers a unique perspective on the aftermath of the Holocaust, one that celebrates the continuity of life and the power of human connection.
