Argentina Shuts Down Secret Nazi Printing Press

Argentina Shuts Down Secret Nazi Printing Press
September 15, 2023


In a recent raid, Argentina’s federal police discovered a clandestine printing press housing hundreds of books adorned with swastikas and imperial eagles. Some of the literature glorified Adolf Hitler, denied the Holocaust, and offered a revisionist history of World War II.

According to officials, this seizure represents Argentina’s largest collection of Nazi propaganda materials in recent memory. The printing press, operating under the name Librería Argentina, printed over 200 texts that were openly sold and distributed.

The man allegedly responsible for the operation, a 45-year-old whose identity was not disclosed, was arrested on charges of engaging in discriminatory acts. The police found the clandestine printing workplace at his parents’ home.

During a news conference, Federal Police Chief Juan Carlos Hernández expressed shock at the amount of propaganda materials discovered, calling it historic. The investigation began in 2021 after the Delegation of Israelite Associations of Argentina raised concerns about a website selling antisemitic content on a popular e-commerce platform.

The Librería Argentina website, which claims to specialize in war themes and neglected historical movements, features numerous Nazi symbols and offers books by well-known Nazi collaborators and theorists. The materials were initially sold on Mercado Libre, but after the website terminated the vendor’s account, the man sold them through his own site.

While Argentina has a history of providing refuge for Nazis after World War II, the nation has also taken steps to address the presence of Nazi propaganda and combat antisemitism. However, the continued circulation of such materials remains a cause for concern, particularly in a country with a significant Jewish population.

The recent raid and arrest are just the beginning of what could be an extensive investigation. Federal Police Chief Hernández stated that they do not rule out the possibility that this discovery is only the tip of the iceberg.
