Award-winning journalist Javier Sinay investigates a series of murders from the nineteenth century, unearthing the complex history and legacy of Moiss Ville, the "Jerusalem of South America," and his personal connection to a little-known period of Jewish history in Argentina.In 2009, journalist Javier Sinay discovered an article from 1947, written by his great-grandfather Mijl Hacohen Sinay, detailing twenty-two murders that had occurred in Moiss Ville at the end of the nineteenth century. What starts out as an investigation into these murders turns into a deeper exploration of the history of Moiss Ville, one of the first Jewish agricultural communities in Argentina, and Sinay's own connection to this historically thriving Jewish epicenter.Seeking refuge from the pogroms of Czarist Russia, a group of Jewish immigrants founded Moiss Ville in the late 1880s.
