Perón and the Jews
After his father is accused of having been “another gorilla Jew” in 1950s Argentina (a reactionary who supported the 1955 military coup that deposed the democratically elected government of Juan Perón), Sergio “Shlomo” Slutzky decides to investigate his father’s past and discovers a young Jewish generation full of humanistic idealism. His journey becomes not only a personal quest, but also reveals the political rift that continues to divide Argentinian society and what it is like to belong to a Jewish minority outside of Israel.
