Roger Kahan, have you heard of him? It’s ok if you haven’t. Yet he was the most important documenter of the refugees passage through Lisbon in the 1940s. Lisbon was the pivot of a story of this photographer that would continue in Brazil, New York, Haiti, Rome, Israel… Now a picture taken by him is a work of art by Vhils on a wall in Lisbon – as a rememberance to all the refugees in Lisbon, last open port in Worl War II
