Como si un ángel

Overview

Everything in these pages occurred just as described and all the names are real. Erich Hackl reconstructs the last days in the life of twenty-two-year-old Gisela Tenenbaum, a native of Mendoza, Argentina, a militant activist against the dictatorship, and the descendant of Austrian Jews who fled the Nazis. This prodigious text helps give voice to those who were silenced.
