Arthur Bondar - Signatures of War, Self published, 2015, St. Petersburg

 

Hardcover, edition of 500 hand numbered copies. Design by Anton Lepashov, foreword by Marina Akhmedova.

"This book is about people and their destinies – destinies that were changed by World War II forever. These people have given the best years of their lives to the War; they have gone trough the War, lost their friends and relatives and came back to empty houses to start their lives from the very beginning. And they are definitely worth to be remembered as heroes.
These people are short-lived as a Polaroid film. And I have a great pleasure when I see how beautiful their eyes are sparkling when they tell me their short life stories, look at their photos, and sign them, leaving a trace and impression not only on the cover of the photo but also in my memory. And I see that all of them are still that young men and women that they were, because the soul has no age."
