The first exhibition of the project, which took place in March 2018 as part of the youth conference of the Israel Students' Association, at the Tel Aviv Museum, was dedicated to the memory of Chaim Kaufman who was born on January 11, 1918 in Bucharest, Romania. Haim was a Holocaust survivor and was liberated by the Russian army. Immigrated to Israel and served in the defense. Chaim and his wife Rebecca had twins. His granddaughter Keren gave birth to her first son in 2014, making him a great grandfather. Karen was photographed next to him while pregnant with her daughter.
