Praise for The Murders of Moisés Ville:“Sinay acknowledges the impossibility of fully separating legends from facts. . . but his diligence has produced as definitive an account as possible of what actually happened during this bloody period. This nuanced search for truth should have broad appeal.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"I greatly admire Javier Sinay's enlightening and humane account of his sleuthing—the disinterment of a violent episode of buried history—now no longer forgotten. Its implications resonate far beyond the borders of Argentina." —Paul Theroux, author of The Mosquito Coast and Under the Wave at Waimea“A fascinating, dark journey of the hardships faced by Jews fleeing Eastern Europe seeking to establish themselves in a foreign country.”—Yedidya Levin, Ami Magazine“With the help of a Yiddish translator, Sinay unearthed not only imprecise information in Mijl’s accounts, but also silences on key issues. … Intelligent and well-researched … A worthy, unique entry in Jewish history.”—Kirkus Reviews“Javier Sinay is a cronista of whom we are all proud.”—Jon Lee Anderson, author of Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life and The Fall of Baghdad"[T]his work of historical reportage helps to keep the victims’ memories alive. The Murders of Moisés Ville sheds light on an undercovered portion of Jewish history."—Jeff Fleischer, Foreword Reviews“Javier Sinay...is one of the most recent and interesting links between narrative journalism, American non-fiction, and the rich tradition of Argentinian detective literature.”—Rodrigo Márquez Tizano, VICE
