| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the crossovers between the world of labor, entertainment market, and the networks of solidarity within the Argentine Jewish community during the interwar period after the death of the artist and parodist Jevel Katz. His unexpected death caused his family to lose the economic income from the musician's exhausting tours and performances. In response to this situation, a committee was set in motion and a national and international collection was organized to buy a house for the artist's widow and children. In this fundraising effort, a network of solidarity was expressed, involving individuals and bank institutions, cultural and social sectors, among others, all of them belonging to the Yiddish-speaking Jewish community.
By inscribing the figure of Jevel Katz in the world of labor and focusing on the precariousness that characterized his working conditions, this article investigates the solidarity ties existing within the Argentine Jewish community. In order to achieve this objective, we will analyze the Jevel Katz personal archive located at the IWO Foundation, the written editorials of the radio program “La Matiné Hebrea”, hosted by Samuel Glasserman, as well as press publications. |
