This photography book is a heartfelt tribute to the men and women captivity and survival who lived through one of the most defining moments of the 20th century - World War II......
Over the course of 15 years, I photographed 225 WWII veterans from 62 different nationalities, representing both Axis and Allied forces. These portraits aim to preserve the memory, humanity, and stories of a generation that shaped the world as we know it. The book is a deluxe limited edition, with only 100 handmade copies available worldwide. Measuring 9.8 x 9.8 inches and featuring 60 pages printed on high-quality matte photo paper with 800 g thickness alongside a wood made cover, it is both a visual and historical collector's piece. The cover was masterfully crafted PhotoAlbum Universal based in Sao Paulo Brazil, and the lay out designed by renowned Brazilian photographer and designer Alex Grand, bringing elegance to every page. Each copy is priced at $300, which includes shipping and handling. This project is more than a book—it's a legacy.
