Abstract

Struggle against oblivion may be the common denominator linking the Sephardic culture, as Prof. Jacobo Sefami rightly observes. Involved in this struggle in the literary field are authors Mexican Miriam Moscona, and Chilean Hernán Rodríguez Fisse. Many of their pages offer texts in Ladino, one of the former links in the Sephardic world that is now making a resurrection in Latin America, through their writings.
