Uncovering the Past: Nazi Artifacts Discovered in Argentina's Supreme Court

A recent discovery in Argentina reveals decades-old Nazi materials, prompting renewed interest in the country’s World War II history.


Staff at Argentina's Supreme Court stumbled upon boxes filled with Nazi propaganda and documents that could shed light on the country's involvement during World War II.

In an unexpected turn of events, workers sorting through archives in the basement of Argentina's Supreme Court unearthed boxes containing Nazi-era materials, including swastika-emblazoned notebooks and propaganda items. These historical documents had been stored for over 80 years, untouched since they were moved there during the early years of World War II. The discovery was made while the court is in the process of establishing a museum to highlight its history.

The Supreme Court described the contents as intended to support Adolf Hitler's ideological agenda in Argentina, coinciding with a period when the nation claimed neutrality during the war. On a recent occasion, court representatives, Jewish community members, and historical researchers gathered for a ceremonial examination of the discoveries, which could potentially provide significant insights into Holocaust-related events in the region.

The court’s president, Horacio Rosatti, has called for a thorough examination of the materials, highlighting their importance in unraveling Argentina's involvement with Nazi activities. Jonathan Karszenbaum, director of the Holocaust Museum in Buenos Aires, expressed his astonishment at the volume of materials uncovered, noting that such extensive historical records could contribute to understanding a complex and troubling part of history.

Preliminary investigations revealed that these documents had been brought to Argentina from the German Embassy in Tokyo on June 20, 1941, via the Japanese cargo ship Nan-a-Maru, which operated when Argentina maintained a neutral stance in the global conflict. This finding marks a pivotal moment in revisiting and revealing Argentina's ties to Nazi-era activities and ideologies.
