What you can expect

In this two-and-a-half-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 about the fate of the Jewish community in Buenos Aires, the second largest in the whole continent. You will learn the spy-like story of Adolf Eichmann's identification and capture. 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 by the Monument to Juana Azurduy (in front of the Palacio Libertad) and ends in the Memorial site of the former embassy of Israel.

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.
