That same year, the family settled in Rajil ( province of Entre Ríos ). This town was founded by the Jewish Colonization Association under the philanthropist Baron Maurice de Hirsch to provide Jews ( mostly from Europe ) a place of refuge from persecution.

Later Gerchunoff settled in Buenos Aires, where he worked mainly as a journalist for the daily newspaper " La Nación ". In addition, over the years, was also a notable literary work.

Eight weeks after his 67th birthday Alberto Gerchunoff died on 2 March 1950 in Buenos Aires and found his final resting place.
