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.
This group is new to me, but I'm trying to add info from academic sources. I've found less on their activities in Argentina than I would have liked, hence that part is just about their use in Anti-Semitic literature, but maybe others will have better luck. They seem to have been quite extensively studied with even Jorge Luis Borges investigating them according to one source, which I don't think I used.--T. Anthony (talk) 11:17, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
It's not clear in the article if the women were always Jewesses? Was it so? --Error (talk) 17:55, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Need to cite source on socio-political, demographic historical background to Zwi Migdal crime syndicate. (On the population explosion, Eastern European pogroms, poverty, etc.) Such trafficking and sex industry is part of human underhistory.
The ref to anonymous student ppt synopsis of Guy's book (Nov 2006, http://people.cohums.ohio-state.edu/guy60/History534.08/WhiteSlavery.ppt) is deleted. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research (Unless your own research got published, seriously, verifiably, by qualified forum or source or authority. Not self-posted ppt.)
The 1991 book by the historian Donna J. Guy, Sex and Danger in Buenos Aires: Prostitution, Family, and Nation in Argentina, is much recommended and cited in articles. -Yohananw (talk) 00:28, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Sex Trafficking in Postcolonial Literature is about literature, not about facts. As far as I know many women came from Galicja and Bukowina. Xx236 (talk) 10:17, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
