Itinerary
1
Avenida Corrientes
We visit the former site of one of Buenos Aires’ most influential German-language newspapers. Here, we explore the role of the German press in Argentina and how it became an important voice of support for Nazism within the German community.
15 minutes

Buenos Aires
At one of the historic institutions of Buenos Aires’ German community, we discuss the diversity of German immigration to Argentina and the divisions created by Hitler’s rise to power, including the different responses to Nazism within the community.
15 minutes

Plaza de Mayo
At Argentina’s political heart, we place the story of local Nazism within the wider context of Argentine politics in the 1930s and 1940s. We discuss Argentina’s neutrality during most of World War II, international pressure, and the political environment that preceded Perón’s rise to power.

Buenos Aires
At the Cathedral we explore the only Holocaust memorial in a cathedral in the world and we examine the relationship between the Catholic Church, Argentine politics, and Europe during and after World War II, including the controversial networks that helped some Europeans associated with fascist and Nazi regimes reach South America after the war.

Luna Park
One of the tour’s most striking stops. We discuss the massive 1938 gathering at Luna Park organized by Nazi-aligned sectors of Argentina’s German community. Historical photographs help us contrast today’s Buenos Aires with one of the most remarkable episodes of this period.

Puente de la Mujer
With the Río de la Plata as our backdrop, we reconstruct the 1939 Battle of the River Plate, one of the first major naval engagements of World War II. We follow the story of the German battleship Admiral Graf Spee, its arrival in Montevideo, and its dramatic scuttling off the Uruguayan coast.
