(By Huang Dong, Argentine Chinese Media April 29) Recently, the Argentine government has declassified and made public a series of documents related to Nazi activities in Argentina during the mid-20th century.
Last Monday, the website of the National Archives of Argentina (AGN) published the declassified documents about the Nazis' operations in Argentina. It is understood that these documents have been restored, digitized, and provided with bibliographic descriptions by the institution.
It is reported that the documents contain approximately 1850 files. Previously, the documents were stored in the National Archives and could only be viewed in specially designated reading rooms. Now, they can be downloaded online from anywhere in the world.
A month ago, on the occasion of the "Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice," Argentine Cabinet Minister Franco announced that the government would declassify official documents about Nazi members seeking refuge in Argentina after World War II. In an interview, he said this was at the order of President Milei, who stated that "the Nazis who sought refuge in Argentina were protected for many years."
He explained: "President Milei requested that all existing documents within state institutions be disclosed because there is no longer any reason to continue hiding this information." According to local media reports, the documents include files related to banking and financial transactions as well as archives preserved by the Ministry of Defense.
In addition, the Argentine government also confirmed the declassification of documents related to military government-era actions by armed forces.
