Research Paper

Deutschargentinier

My mother went to Argentina when she was in high school. She told me all about the German villages in the mountains. The idea of German beer gardens in South America has always interested me. I have also wondered about the Peronist help for Nazi war criminals. They were accepted into the government and aeronautics industry among other places. However, Argentina also accepted the most Jewish refugees in the world at the time. This disparity is very intriguing. So for my research paper I plan on writing about the history of German immigration in Argentina up to the time after the Second World War (maybe beyond if I can find good primary material from Wiesenthal.)
