Veterans is a series of portraits of people who took part in the Second World War – the one event in human history that could not – and still cannot- be compared with any other event on the scale of catastrophe, human tragedy, and with such a degree of impact on the future of our civilization. Every single person who participated in the war, whether they were a soldier or a general, a prisoner or a guard, medical worker or an engineer, took part in shaping the image of the world as it is seen and perceived today.
This project aims to look behind the emotional drape of each individual photographed. 70 years after the war that took millions of lives, the photographer strives to analyze and compare the lives of those who survived and are still living. For this project, the photographer travelled to many countries that were most affected by the war , he interviewed and took portraits of those who took part in it, with the goal to assemble a mosaic of people who at one point were all engaged in this incredible tragedy, and in were living their separate lives in different corners of our planet.
