Focuses on Jewish literature and art produced by Latin American Jewish writers and artists. The primary themes discussed are: Jewish identity and memory, Jewish religion and tradition within predominately Catholic societies, the aftermath of the Holocaust and current anti-Semitism, and the relationship of Latin American Jews to Israel.
