there is a French article whom I have just published on Wikipedia under the title “Zwi Migdal”. I do not have competences to translate it --82.245.95.207 15:09, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
The article says:
"Originally called Warsaw Jewish Mutual Aid Society, the organization changed its name to Zwi Migdal on May 7th, 1906, when the Polish Embassy made an official complaint to the Argentinian authorities regarding the use of the name Warsaw."
This is clearly not true; there was no Polish Embassy in Argentina in 1906, since there was no Poland: that country had been partitioned between Germany, Russia and Austria-Hungary, and would only be revived after World War I.
New post: Many missing facts in this posting but I do not have the expertise to fix so I just edited the grammar and style to make a bit more concise. I was drawn to this subject while reading a novel called "The Tango Singer" by Tomas Eloy Martinez. One of his more interesting characters is a prostitute who escapes Zwi Migdal's clutches. Martinez's description of how they "break" the new girls is heartbreaking. So much for Jewish men being saints! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.12.246 (talk) 02:38, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
