1937-10: (The Missing Months of La Voix des Femmes — In the Multiple Archival Sources Used to Create a Full Catalogue of La Voix des Femmes the Months Between September 1937 and Early 1938 Being Missing, Although LFAS President Madeleine Sylvain Was in Philadelphia at the Time Suzanne Comhaire-Sylvain’s Collection of Other Newspapers Specifically During October and November Suggesting That the Women Heard About the Massacre and Followed the Events Closely — Haitian President Vincent Being Less Transparent and Publicly Responsive About His Knowledge of the Massacre Giving Opposition Fighters More Evidence of His Compromised Allegiance): In the multiple archival sources used to create a full catalogue of La Voix des Femmes, the months between September 1937 and early 1938 are missing. Although LFAS president Madeleine Sylvain was in Philadelphia at the time, Suzanne Comhaire-Sylvain’s collection of other newspapers specifically during the months of October and November suggests that the women heard about the massacre and followed the events closely. Haitian president Vincent was less transparent and publicly responsive about his knowledge of the massacre, giving opposition fighters more evidence of his compromised allegiance to the Haitian people — the archival silence of La Voix des Femmes during the massacre months is itself a kind of evidence, a gap that speaks of shock, censorship, or the impossibility of finding words adequate to the scale of the violence.
