This work is about the history of the National Immigrant Hospital that operated from 1911 in the Migration Office Estate and prolonged its services after the end of the Hotel. The content of the book, with a foreword by Graciela Swiderski, is mainly inspired by the homonymous audiovisual record created in 1990, and it has an iconographic selection that is complemented by all the stories and testimonies of its protagonists, former doctors and hospital employees. In this selection, all the pictures are associated with the music used synchronously and the montage forms represented in the audiovisual record with a didactic criterion in order to join the reader with the author’s audiovisual theory, explained in his other writings.
