Description The antisemitic Catholic priest Virgilio Filippo had a great influence on the Argentine populace and within Argentine politics in the 1930s-40s through radio broadcasts and articles in periodicals and books. His critique of Freudian psychoanalysis was central to his hostile view of the Jews. He spread the idea that Freudian psychoanalysis was a threat to the nation, a Jewish plot which, through a sensualist and materialist theory, would try to destroy the minds of Argentineans, their traditional Christian values, and their norms of sexual behavior, in order to establish Jewish domination of the country. He felt his view was confirmed by the fact that, in those years, a strong organization of Jewish pimps, the "Zwi Migdal", took root in the city of Buenos Aires. A stigma of prostitution and spreading of sexual disease adhered to the Jewish community in Argentina for many years to come.
