The Supreme Court of Argentina discovers a stash of Nazi artifacts in a hidden cellar – DW – December 5, 2025

Argentina’s Supreme Court has found numerous boxes filled with Nazi material among its archives in its basement. This material includes documents such as postcards, photographs, notebooks, and propaganda material. The court has invited Argentina’s Holocaust Museum to help document and preserve the materials. The boxes were sent by the German embassy in Japan to Argentina during World War II and were confiscated by customs authorities in 1941. Argentina remained neutral for much of World War II but declared war against Japan and Germany in the final months of the war. Some 24,000 Jews entered Argentina between 1933 and 1943, and another 20,000 entered the country illegally. Argentina’s President Juan Peron was a prominent Nazi sympathizer, and the country became a haven for Nazi Germany’s war criminals after the end of World War II.
