During the first half of 20th century, Argentina harbored a Jewish criminal organization called Zwi Migdal. This mafia style organization was formed by Jewish procurers who recruited young Jewish women from Russia, Galicia, and other parts of Eastern Europe to be prostitutes throughout Argentina. The Jewish community rejected outright, in life and in death, both the members of Zwi Migdal and their victims. An Argentine residing in Paris, and descendant of artists in Buenos Aires Yiddish theater of that time, repeats and closes a family circle without knowing it. A portentous narrative from the Argentine filmmaker and writer Edgardo Cozarinsky, and stroke of luck for those who not yet read the novel.
