Organized Prostitution and the Jews of Buenos Aires UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Polacos, White Slaves, and Stille Chuppahs: Organized Prostitution and the Jews of Buenos Aires, 1890-1939 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Mir Hayim Yarfitz 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Polacos, White Slaves, and Stille Chuppahs: Organized Prostitution and the Jews of Buenos Aires, 1890-1939 by Mir Hayim Yarfitz Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles Professor José C. Moya, Chair This dissertation explores the particularly prominent role of Jews in coercive sex trafficking, then called white slavery in Buenos Aires when it was considered to be the world capital. The project aims to de-exoticize the subject by comparing Jewish pimps and prostitutes to other immigrants, grounding them in the neighborhoods they lived in, exploring the concrete concerns of their opponents, and connecting the broader discourses around these issues to transnational conversations about migration, sexuality, and the significance of race, ethnicity, and nationhood – the establishment of the boundaries of whiteness – in the furor around white slavery. I introduce new evidence about the Zwi Migdal Society (also called the Varsovia Society), a powerful mutual aid ii and burial association of Jewish pimps based in the Argentine capital. Ostracized by the nascent Argentine Jewish community, the Zwi Migdal Society nonetheless developed the same communal structures as those found in conventional voluntary immigrant associations: a burial society, a synagogue, health benefits, and peer recognition. My archival discoveries underline the significance of this battle to the local Jewish community's centralization and the shifting international articulation of norms around morality, marriage, family, and labor, and develop a history that opens into larger issues of migration, identity, women’s agency and transatlantic politics. Based on archival research in Buenos Aires, Geneva, New York, London, and Southampton, this project builds upon previous scholarship through new archival discoveries and close analysis of local and international press. iii The dissertation of Mir Hayim Yarfitz is approved.

Thanks to Liat Kozma for her advice related to the League of Nations Archives, and Mollie Lewis Nouwen for her suggestions related to the Argentine Police Archives. I am also grateful to the UCLA Latin American Institute, Center for Jewish Studies, and History Department for their financial support, as well as the Mellon Foundation for assistance with League of Nations research. Each of my Committee members has played an invaluable role in my intellectual development and the elaboration of this work. Thank you Robin, for your availability, theoretical orientation, and helping me learn how to teach. Thank you José, for sharing your deep knowledge of Buenos Aires (and apparently everyplace else) – I could have never envisioned a pimp prosopography without you. Thank you David, for always pushing me towards the next level with incisive feedback and the ever-present “so what?” Thank you Adriana, for your insights into tango and theory, and your always overly- generous words of encouragement. Kevin Terraciano’s inspirational teaching enlivened xii my first years in graduate school. I’d like to thank the History Department’s staff for holding my hand despite my bungling of bureaucratic necessities, and am particularly grateful to Tammy Von Wagoner, Hadley Porter, Eboni Shaw, Nancy Dennis, and former staff members Mehri Eslami and Bebe Bernstein. My cohort and colleagues have been an amazing, cooperative, and brilliant bunch. I have particularly benefited from learning and teaching alongside, from, and with: Ben Cowan, Zeb Tortorici, Dana Velasco-Murillo, Xochitl Flores, Peter Villela, Liz Jones, Hillel Eyal, Adrián López Denis, Rob Sierakowski, Brad Benton, Liora Halperin, Karen Wilson, Erik Greenberg, Mark Smith, Cassia Roth, Jen Musto, Anat Mooreville, Devin McCutchen, Sarah Promnitz, Sarah Pripas, and Rebecca Dufendach. Special thanks to Ben Cowan for your suggestions on the fourth chapter, Liora Halperin for your translation assistance with Avni’s text, Sasha Sendlerovich for your Sholem Aleichem textual detail, and Pablo Ben for your insights into the porteño underworld. I have also been fortunate to benefit from interactions with accomplished scholars around the world. Sections of this work have benefited from the careful reading and insightful feedback of Raanan Rein, Daniel Llvovich, Lila Caimairi, and Eduardo Zimmerman. My time in Buenos Aires was made comfortable by Alejandro Dujovne, Laura Fernandez Cordero and Pablo, Laura Schenquer, Grabiela Rojas Molina, and the Núcleo de Estudios Judios. My extended family has tried to help me keep my feet on the ground (without holes in my shoes) during this process. A side-benefit of attending UCLA was the chance to deepen my relationships with extended family in the LA area during this time, and to share many fine meals with Joan, Denise, Marc, Evan, Jenna, Christoff, Wendy, Bruce, xiii and Mitchell’s household. Leo Yarfitz taught me from a young age the values of tenacity and the power of a good story; I am grateful to he and Dottie for their unconditional support, and know that Evelyn would also have expressed her pride in this completion. Jenny Block opened her home to me at the beginning of my New York research, and Mary Block did the same for me in London, as well as being the only non-professor to read my entire undergraduate thesis. Marilyn Webb and John Sheedy were also gracious New York hosts. I have always been inspired by the creative examples of Michael, Catherine, and Pepper; and Michael’s loss is still deeply felt. My friends have been the source of whatever sanity I have maintained throughout this process. Especially useful to my writing have been my working partnerships

Chapter 2 Another Look at the History of Tango The Intimate Connection of Rural ·and Urban Music in Argentina at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century Julia Chindemi and Pablo Vila Since the late nineteenth century, popular music has actively participated in the formation of different identities in Argentine society, becoming a very relevant discourse in the production, not only of significant subjectivities, but also of emotional and affective agencies. In the imaginary of the majority of Argentines, the tango is identified as "music of the city," fundame ntally linked to the city of Buenos Aires and its neighborhoods. In this imaginary, the music of the capital of the country is distinguished from the music of the provinces (including the province of Buenos Aires), which has been called campera, musica criolla, native, folk music, etc.
