History of the Argentine Jewish Community, Part II

Before WWII, many Jews came to Argentina.  What happened in Argentina during and after the Holocaust?  Who was Peron and what was his policy towards the Jews?  Did he really help the Nazis come to Argentina? Learn about the political, economic and social crises Argentina has gone through, in addition to the terror attacks suffered in Buenos Aires. Learn about how emigration and assimilation have affected the Jewish population in Argentina.

About Claudia Hercman:
Claudia, an Argentinian tour guide and translator (and sculptor & painter!), was born and raised in Buenos Aires into the Argentinian Jewish community.  She’s been conducting city, art and Jewish tours for the last 20 years, most recently figuring out how to offer virtual Jewish tours to people all over the world during the pandemic. She loves talking to people, meeting new friends and helping them explore the history of Jews in Argentina and we’re delighted to “welcome” her to our homes in Maryland.
