Summary

Isabel Vincent: Bodies and Souls

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several thousand poor young Jewish women from Eastern Europe were deceived by stories of a better life and then forced into prostitution in the colonies of Latin America, South Africa, India and parts of the United States. Behind this white slave trade was the powerful criminal group Cvi Migdal. Bodies and Souls reveals a dark, untold chapter of Jewish history - a subject that was hidden due to the stigma that surrounded it. Investigative journalist Isabelle Vincent tells the true story of three women - Sofia, Raquel and Rebecca - who, like many others, desperately tried to escape poverty and a hopeless future in Eastern European urban ghettos and villages.

Bodies and souls are a moving testimony to the fate of women ostracized from a society that considered them impure, and to their struggle for a dignified life. Realizing that they can only rely on each other, prostitutes in Brazil founded their own charitable and funeral association: the Society of Truth. Using archival materials and interviewing rare surviving witnesses, Isabel Vincent follows the work of the Truth Society from its foundation to its demise. The story of betrayal and exploitation eventually becomes a story of human resilience and unexpected solidarity.
