Join award-winning Argentinian journalist Javier Sinay this spring for virtual and in-person events in to celebrate the publication of his historical true-crime investigation The Murders of Moisés Ville: The Rise and Fall of the Jerusalem of South America. Learn about how Sinay’s investigation into a series of twenty-two murders at the end of the nineteenth century evolved into a deeper exploration of the complex history of Moisés Ville, one of the first Jewish agricultural communities in Argentina, and Sinay’s own personal connection to the town and murders.
