My giant German roomate returned home yesterday. But, before he left we had a chance to address the elephant in the room. Yes, the 9 foot tall blond haired blue eyed German and the jewy Jew (me) talked about the Holocaust.
Argentina actually offers an interesting case study. Buenos Aires has a huge Jewish community, many left Europe for Argentina before the War. However, Argentina also offered asylum to many of the Nazi’s after the war ended. So a situation was created where former Nazi’s were living next door to Jews.
The anthropologist in me was dying of interest. But we both tiptoed around, careful not to insight riot. When he left yesterday a hug was shared and now I might consider buying a Volkswagen.
