A Treasure Hunt for Lost Memories

An interesting
NYT article [reg req’d] on recent scholarship concerning Uruguay’s Jewish population.
From the article:
“Uruguay’s Jewish population has dwindled from 40,000 after World War II to an unofficial estimate of 15,000 now, primarily because of economic woes in this country of 3.4 million. But it has produced a stream of memoirs, academic treatises, oral histories and novels. The most commercially successful to date, Mauricio Rosencof’s autobiographical novel “The Letters That Didn’t Come” (“Las Cartas que no Llegaron”), will be released in English translation in the United States in 2004 by the University of New Mexico Press.”
