Argentina provides documents about fleeing Nazis online
Argentina’s government has published documents on Nazis activities on the Internet that fled to the South American country after the Second World War. The files include documents about Nazi criminals such as Josef Mengele and Adolf Eichmann, as can be seen on the website of the National Archives. More than 1,850 documents that had only been visible on paper in the Argentine Federal Archives since 1992 are now available online thanks to “extensive restoration and digitization work”, as the deputy cabinet management of the Interior Ministry announced.
The survivor and the mass murderer
The SS Obersturmbannführer Eichmann had millions of Jews deported into extermination camp during the Nazi era. After the Second World War, he fled to Argentina before kidnapped by Israeli agents in May 1960 and brought him to Israel, where he was charged and sentenced to death. Mengele was responsible for cruelest medical experiments as a concentration camp doctor. He first fled to Argentina and later on to Brazil, where he finally died.
