US EditionArgentina Publishes Online Archive of Nazi-Era and Cold War Documents
- On April 28, 2025, Argentina made nearly 1,850 previously classified Nazi-era and Cold War documents publicly available online via its National Archives.
- The release followed a directive last month by President Javier Milei, who acted after meeting with Simon Wiesenthal Center representatives urging declassification.
- The documents include records on Nazi fugitives like Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele, detailing how they escaped to Argentina via ratlines and resettled there.
- President Milei authorized the declassification, stating that the information should no longer be kept secret, and the Simon Wiesenthal Center expressed approval of the release the following day.
- The archival release allows public access to Argentina’s historical ties to Nazi fugitives, potentially shedding light on their financing and Argentina's mid-20th-century policies.
