My name is Oliver and until eight days ago I did not know that word and the weight of its meaning. No one had ever uttered that word around me. Furthermore, as far as I knew, no one had ever died. But knowing the term does not cover its immensity. Not then, not now. In Delos death does not exist. It is a model community in the north of the world, where there is no place for suffering, disease, or pain.

Pronunciar el nombre de alguien lo mantiene vivo, le permite dar valor a su historia. Todos aquellos que tuvieron que huir de Europa del Este durante la primera mitad del siglo XX tienen una historia que merece ser contada.
