Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina to immigrant parents — survivors of the Holocaust — she completed high school and the army in Israel before she moved to the United States.
[3][4] The film tells the story of modern-day Crypto-Jews (or marranos) forced to convert to Catholicism during the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal and who are now returning to their Jewish faith.
[7][8] Böhm wrote, directed, produced and co-edited Raquel: a marked woman (2014) which has screened in the US, Canada, Europe and Israel.
In the early 20th century, thousands of Eastern European Jewish women were lured to Argentina and forced into prostitution.
