This book is the result of a long journey that began in 2013 as part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Israeli Cultural Association of Córdoba (ACIC), which began in those years as the Israeli Youth Library.
There, Jewish immigrants who arrived in Córdoba, driven by hunger, persecution, discrimination, and the desire to be part of a new homeland that would take them in, built this space to preserve and share their books, their readings, their language, and their knowledge. That is why, and in their honor, the ACIC Library organized the ACIC Literary Contest in collaboration with the School of Letters of the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities of the National University of Córdoba, which accompanied us, along with other institutions, throughout all these years on this journey.
Why a Literary Contest? In the prologue, the Contest Organizing Committee states: "As a cultural space, we view people in their feelings, their knowledge, their actions, and their struggles as integral beings with the right to express themselves, recognizing their history of participation and contribution to the multicultural fabric of our society. We think of those who dare to write, whether known or unknown, with or without a track record, who are willing to leave a mark for others, as a way of inviting them again and again to possible horizons. We wanted to offer this opportunity because writing is another form of expression and we do not see it as the heritage of a select few. We are opening our doors to support this space for writing in Córdoba and the country."
This book is part of the prizes for the 7th and 8th ACIC Literary Contest for those who managed not only to sit down and write during the pandemic, a time of great reflection and introspection, but also to be recognized for their work. In 2020, 290 stories were submitted from 18 provinces in our country, and more than 150 stories from 14 provinces in 2021.
