The Jewish White Slave Trade and the Untold Story of Raquel Liberman (Latin American Studies)

Routledge | 190 pages | 1999 | ISBN: 0815333105 | PDF | 3 mb

This book recounts the events involving Raquel Liberman, an impoverished immigrant to Argentina that was forced by circumstances into

prostitution, and the powerful Zwi Migdal, which controlled the recruitment and deployment of Jewish prostitutes in Argentina while

maintaining mutually profitable relations with corrupt politicians and policemen. Liberman's story is presented as an example of

individual courage and determination in the face of the violence and corruption of the prostitution business. Her struggle with the

Zwi Migdal and triumphant public victory over her oppressors was widely publicized in newspapers and magazines, and was a political

cause celebre in its time. This book gives readers an intimate view of how the affair caught the public imagination, and was

interpreted and transformed by the artistic imagination.
