Overview
In this two-hour tour, you will visit some of the most iconic 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, which is the second largest in the whole continent. You will learn some 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 goverment house).
For this tour, it is desirable that you already 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.
