| Description |
Examination of messages sent by Argentine ambassadors and other diplomatic officials from Germany and countries occupied by or allied with Germany (e.g. Hungary, Italy, Bulgaria, France) between 1933-45 shows that the Interior Ministry, and thus the government of Argentina, had extensive information about events in Europe. Some diplomats (such as Eduardo Labougle, ambassador to Germany in 1933-39), who tried to justify the Nazi measures against the Jews, used German official sources uncritically. Some others, however, deplored the Nazi measures. The full knowledge of what was going on in Europe did not cause the Argentine government to revise its "closed-door" policy toward refugees. Moreover, Argentine officials in Europe often refused to grant diplomatic protection to naturalized Jewish citizens of Argentina, condoning their deportation. Contends that sympathy for German antisemitic policies played a role in the determination of Argentina's immigration policy, for fear of the same problems arising concerning the Jews. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) Appeared also in Hebrew. Spanish versions appeared in "Encuentro y alteridad" (1999) and in "Indice" 21 (2001). |
