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 immigra-tion 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.
