"Sophia Chamys, Rachel Liberman, Rebecca Freedman. Young and poor, these Jewish women and thousands of others like them were sold or duped into slavery, forced to become prostitutes by the Zwi Migdal, a notorious criminal gang composed entirely of Jewish mobsters. Leaving behind the grinding poverty & anti-Semitism of Eastern Europe's teeming urban ghettos & rural shtels, the desperate women found themselves working in brothels in South America, Latin America, South Africa, India, and Yew York. Culled from archival documents, academic studies, and interviews, Bodies and Souls illuminates the tragic plight of these long-forgotten women and elevates them to their rightful place in history."
