## What is known

The ship docked in the port of Buenos Aires in the early hours of 23 December 1904. It was high summer, and Manuel Quintana was president of Argentina.

After customs, they were lodged in the Immigrants' Hotel. Some time later the family was renting a room in a conventillo —a tenement house— on Calle Azcuénaga, half a block from Rivadavia, in central Buenos Aires. That building was later demolished; the one that replaced it first housed the city's Schools Directorate and later the medical examinations department of ANSES, Argentina's social security agency.

Felix landed in mid-1905 and joined them. He died in Buenos Aires around 1909; Malke, around 1915. The three siblings went to primary school there before moving to Entre Ríos.
