🇦🇷❌🇩🇪 — Argentine President Javier Milei has decided to open the state's secret archives containing documents about Nazi officials and employees who fled to Argentina after World War II

➡️ During a meeting at the Casa Rosada, Milei promised full cooperation from the Argentine government with the Simon Wiesenthal Center, an organization founded by the renowned "Nazi hunter" that tracks individuals linked to Adolf Hitler's regime worldwide.

📝 The documents reportedly reveal the financing of the so-called "escape routes" used by Nazis to flee Europe after the Holocaust. Thousands of Nazis avoided justice after 1945 by using these routes. It is estimated that up to 10,000 war criminals found refuge in Argentina and other South American countries.

💥 Argentina sheltered around 5,000 Nazis, including one of the Holocaust’s masterminds, Adolf Eichmann, and the Auschwitz doctor, Josef Mengele. In 1948, Mengele escaped Europe with a false passport under the name Helmut Gregor.

⌛ Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, highlighted the speed with which Milei acted compared to previous governments. According to Cooper, the Argentine president is the first to move decisively to clarify the country’s relationship with the Nazis before, during, and after the Holocaust.
