Abstract: Abstract Jaime Behar was born in Cuba. His parents were Sephardic Jews who had come to the West Indies in 1928. Later, the Behar family emigrated to Uruguay. There, Jaime studied at the Instituto de Profesores Artigas and worked as a junior high school and high school teacher of mathematics, physics and chemistry. At the same time, he was politically active, in the Movimiento 26 de Mayo, the political wing of the Tupamaros, and one of the parties in the Frente Amplio, an umbrella organization of left-wing parties, declared illegal after the June 1973 military coup. So was the woman that would become his life companion: Lilian Braslavsky. She disappeared after the coup and was held captive under harsh conditions in Uruguay, while Jaime escaped to Chile, where he was caught in the middle of the 11 September military coup. He had to seek refuge in the Cuban embassy, at the time administered by Sweden.
