In reply to the discussion: Peter Thiel has moved to Argentina [View all]Beacool
(30,528 posts)88. Yes, but none of them were Hitler.
Besides, there were many more Germans who had emigrated to the country years before WWII. My point is that although some Nazis were welcomed in Argentina, the German community was far larger and had been in the country years before the Nazis existed. Most Germans in Argentina were not Nazis. BTW, Argentina received a large number of Jewish people from Eastern Europe. As a matter of fact, Argentina has after the U.S., the largest Jewish community in the Western Hemisphere, and the 6th largest in the world.
