Bodies and Souls: The Tragic Plight of Three Jewish Women Forced into Prostitution in the Americas

Vincent has uncovered the little known story of the forced slavery and prostitution of thousands of young Jewish Eastern European women from the 1860s until World War II. She uses archival documents, academic studies and interviews with the women's descendents to imagine the lives of three women who were victims of this crime. Vincent is an investigative reporter for the National Post in Canada. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
