Argentina will admit to the declassification of all government documents concerning the Nazi sex, who settled in Argentina after World War II. On Wednesday night, the Israeli news website Ynetnews reported, TASR writes.
This announcement is followed by the promise of Argentine President Javier Mileia from February that it will allow access to documents related to the financing of escape routes, the so -called rat lines that helped the Nazis after the Holocaust to escape from Europe.
As is well known, Argentina became a refuge for several high -ranking Nazi officials, including Josef Mengele and Adolf Eichmann, after World War II.
It is assumed that Mengele, known for his experiments at prisoners in the Auschwitz concentration camp as “Angel of Death”, lived in Argentina for some time, even though he died in Brazil.
Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, who lived under a false identity in Argentina, after a long -time search on 11 May 1960 kidnapped the commando of the Israeli secret service Mosad. Ten days later, he was secretly transferred to Israel. The court found him guilty of the implementation of the so -called. The final solution – the Nazi plan for the extermination of the Jews during World War II – and in 1962 he was executed at the age of 56 by hanging.
The head of the Argentine Cabinet of Ministers Guillermo Francos said Milei ordered the publication and declassification of archives, including documents with details of banking and financial transactions and records that the Argentine Ministry of Defense has.
This was based on the promise that Milei gave to the representatives of the center of Simon Wiesenthal and the American Senator Steve Daines.
After the archival records of unofficial escape routes, which in the years after the Second World War, thousands of Nazis escaped from justice, many organizations and associations, including the center named after the “Nazi hunter” Simon Wiesenthal, have searched for decades. It is believed that up to 10,000 Nazis and other fascist war criminals have found refuge in Argentina and other countries, the Times of Israel (Toi) wrote on Wednesday.
