The fun part of living in Rio de la plata is that you learn about the waves of Jewish migration that happen during persecution times, like, idk, nazi Germany and then realising that somewhere in Buenos aires there must have been a Jewish family that fled from their neighbors in the 1930s , only for their nazi neighbors to move in next door in 1945

“Meet The Nazis!”

That's how I'm imagining it.

To be fair, perhaps they were descended from liberals who left during the Biedermeier era (1848-1918), or Anabaptists seeking religious freedom or something. Though Nazis is a probable option.

it's both, they have pre WW2 germans and obviously post ww2 nazis.

Fun fact : Josef Mengele successfully fled to the southern cone, and after a while, stopped going under a fake name and started traveling around under his real name, got married in Uruguay, and died by accidental drowning in fucking brazil.

He fucking got away with all the unethical bollocks he did during the holocaust. He even went back to germany on fucking holdiay UNDER HIS REAL NAME.
