Repost @martinschoeller⁠ Holocaust survivor Naftali Furst: “It is so important to undertake commemorative projects like this one. Whoever is still capable of telling their story should continue to do so. It is our obligation, in the name of the men, women and children who were murdered, to keep telling our stories.” ⁠ Naftali Furst was born in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia (today Slovakia), in 1932. Naftali and his family were sent to the Sereď concentration camp. Naftali was deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp, the Budy concentration camp, and then sent on a death march to the Buchenwald concentration camp.⁠ From the exhibition “Survivors: Faces of Life after the Holocaust” opened at the Ruhr Museum (@ruhrmuseum) in Germany. It is a cooperative project between Yad Vashem and award-winning portrait photographer Martin Schoeller. The survivors came to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem to be photographed by Schoeller in June 2019.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #yadvashem #portrait #portraitphotography #martinschoeller #holocaust #holocaustsurvivor #bratislava #israel
