Description

At 9:53 at the morning of July 18, 1994, a suicide bomber drove a Renault Trafic van loaded with explosives into the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina, a Jewish community center within the bustling commercial neighborhood of Once, Buenos Aires. The explosion left eighty-five people dead and over 300 wounded. Firstly published in Spanish amid widespread controversy, Once@9:53am: Terror in Buenos Aires imagines the two hours before the attack through the preferred format of the fotonovela.

Part documentary, part fiction, this vivid retelling of Argentina’s deadliest bombing depicts a vibrant, complex urban community within the hours before its identity was once perpetually changed. This expanded English edition features a new essay by Ilan Stavans detailing the aftermath of the attack and the faulty investigations that have yet to yield any arrests or reach resolution.

A unique and powerful visual experience, Once@9:53am is both a commemoration of an atrocity that shifted Latin American Jewish identity in innumerable ways and an ingenious use of a well-liked format to explore the dangerous intersection of politics and religion in Latin The usa.
