Tuvia was born in Czechoslovakia in 1924 and survived the Nazi era in Europe thanks to Henrietta Szold, who rescued Jewish children from the Nazis. He has been living in Kibbutz Merhavia from the day he immigrated to Israel in 1941.
Since then, Tuvia has engaged in poetry, but photography has also been a significant part of his life. In honor of his win, we present a selection of Tuvia's photos, which he took at Kibbutz Merhavia during the 1950s.
