I'll look for a copy of _Out of the Ghetto_.  Thanks!

Here's the URL for the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives Home Page: 
<http://www.alba-valb.org/>.  Lots of stuff there, including free 
screen saver software featuring posters from the Abraham Lincoln 
Brigade Archives.

I posted the same post on a local political discussion list.  It 
turns out that one of the subscribers to the list grew up hearing the 
story of her mother's two older brothers (then 19 & 20 years old 
respectively) leaving Argentina to fight against Franco.
