Was Argentina really a refuge for Nazi war criminals? Take part in this very disputed debate with a unique tour around Buenos Aires, guided by a history teacher from the University of Bs As.

Highlights

  • Visit the site of the worst terrorist attack in the history of Latin America
  • Discover the place war criminal Adolf Eichmann sat for a cup of coffee
  • See the 15,000-seat Nazi meeting in a still-operational theater

Description

In this two-hour tour, you will visit some of the most iconical places in Recoleta, Retiro and Microcentro that tie Argentina's history with WW2 and the Holocaust. You will learn about Nazi war criminals that immigrated after 1945, and discover if their migration was known, or even promoted by the Argentine government. You will learn the spy-like story of Adolf Eichmann's identification and capture. You will learn about the fate of the Jewish community in Buenos Aires, the second largest in the whole continent. You will learn some of the debates about the presidency of Juan Domingo Perón, arguably the most important political figure of Argentina's 20th century. The tour begins in front of the Libertad Synagogue (close to the Colón Theater, in the neighborhood of San Nicolás) and ends in the Plaza de Mayo, in front of Casa Rosada (Argentina's government house). For this tour, it is preferred that you have a basic knowledge of the events of World War II and the Holocaust. However, of course, the guide will be happy to answer any questions you may have, whether about Nazism, Judaism, the history of the war, or Argentine history.
