Jacobo Glantz

Jacobo Glantz was a Ukrainian Jewish immigrant and small business owner in Mexico City, known for his contributions to Yiddish literature and culture. His life took a dramatic turn when he was violently attacked by the 'Camisas doradas,' a fascist group in the 1930s. Glantz's experiences, including his near-fatal beating, are recounted by his daughter, Margo Glantz, highlighting the perils faced by Jewish immigrants in Mexico during a time of rising antisemitism.
