Ziuta Travesías
Ziuta, Polish, Jewish and survivor of the Second World War, was an extraordinary woman who aroused special devotion. Her political commitment and participation in supporting the clandestine struggle, beyond being a virtue, were a direct and almost biological part of it. Ziuta had the determination, being just a teenager, to resist exile with fortitude, saving her mother and another family from perishing in flight. Despite the horrors and hardships, she maintained a grateful attitude toward life. These characteristics, and her particular sense of humor, permeate her story, even in chapters with painful themes: the death of her father, her madness; her suicide attempt in the Caspian Sea and her decision to come to Mexico, where she rebuilt her life and lived with artists, writers, dancers and filmmakers at a time of great cultural effervescence in the country, even participating as an actress in some films. .
