Documentary

Documentary about the Jewish colonization in Argentina.

In August 1889, the steamship Wesser docked in Argentina with the first group of Jewish escapees from the pogroms of Czarist Russia. Our narrator was 10 when she stepped off the boat and began life in Moisesville, the first Jewish settlement in Argentina. Her account spans 80 years.
