Itinerarios de inmigración y construcción de identidades en mujeres judías en Argentina durante la época de la Segunda Guerra Mundial

Abstract

With the aim of contributing to the advancement of Jewish immigration

as a rich field of study within Argentine historiography, the present

article analyzes the personal narratives of three women—a physician, a

psychoanalyst, and an artist—who, after having crossed the Atlantic in

two contrasting migratory contexts, developed outstanding professional

trajectories. Namely, the study examines how these women, who came from

Central, Mediterranean, and Eastern Europe, bestowed different meanings

upon their European past and Jewish tradition; notions that acquired new

meanings in line with their experience of migration and exile.
