Cynthia Gabbay is Researcher in Latin American and Romance Studies at Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany. This work is one of the products of her Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship at Freie University of Berlin, Germany. She is the author of Los ríos metafísicos de Julio Cortázar: de la lírica al diálogo (2015).

Cynthia Gabbay has assembled an important collection of articles defining a Jewish library of the Spanish Civil War. By turning their attention to the literature of a war that took place on the eve of the Holocaust, these authors shed new light on both Jewish internationalism and the history of the 20th century. This illustrative and well-researched anthology helps to show how Jewish thinkers, whether from Morocco, Argentina, Moscow, or New York, saw the struggle against fascism in Spain as a fight for their own communities.
