🕯️
Why remember a photographer? Because his photographs are acts of defiance. While the Nazi regime sought to reduce people to numbers on a transport list, Székely Schweiger turned them into individuals . In his studio, a Jewish merchant was a king; a seamstress was a queen; a child was a universe of potential.
In 1944, following the German occupation of Hungary, Géza was deported. He was murdered in the concentration camp.
Let us honor his memory by continuing to tell the stories of those who were silenced.
