Holocaust Museum in Buenos Aires, Holocaust museum in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Holocaust Museum in Buenos Aires is a memorial institution that displays photographs, documents, and personal items documenting Jewish experiences during World War II. The collection includes thousands of books and materials that trace connections between Europe and Argentina during this period.
The building originally served as headquarters for the Italian-Argentine Electricity Company before its transformation into a memorial site. It became the leading institution in Latin America dedicated to preserving Holocaust memory and preventing future atrocities.
The museum tells the stories of Jewish people who came to Argentina before and after the war. Their personal objects and testimonies show how survivors rebuilt their lives in this country.
The museum is located on Montevideo Street and requires advance reservations to schedule a visit. Guided tours are offered in several languages, allowing visitors to understand the content in their preferred language.
The museum houses a rare collection of Nazi artifacts discovered in Argentina, including a false Italian passport. This document is connected to Adolf Eichmann, who attempted to enter the country using forged papers.
