By the way, after the band played here, a book began
circulating (I'm still waiting my turn) about Zwi Migdal.
Here's what I can recall from what the owner of the book
summarized for me. The book was difficult to research
because people did not want to revisit that part of
Argentine history. Some of the women who were victimized
by Zwi Migdal pooled some of their earnings together and
started their own church. When one of them died, the other
women would pay for the funeral arrangements. The last
woman left died fairly recently, and I think the church and
the property went into government hands. As I said
earlier, though, I am still waiting my turn to read the
book, so I could be a off.

By the way, after the owner of the book, the first people
that wanted to read it were the Argentine women who live
here. I don't think they knew much about that part of
Argentine history, so Pablo's intent of "bringing historic
facts to light" was accomplished here.
