BOOK: The Jewish White Slave Trade and the Untold Story of Raquel Liberman
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.
