London, Sept 3 (ANI): The former first lady of Argentina, Eva Peron, allowed Nazis to hide out in her country in exchange for treasures looted from wealthy Jewish families during the Holocaust, a new book has claimed.
According to the book 'The Politically Incorrect Guide to Latin America', Eva and her husband, former president Juan Peron, hid from public gaze, the number of Nazis who were hiding out in Argentina after the Second World War.
Among those who fled to the South American country was Adolf Eichmann, a key orchestrator of the concentration camps.
He lived under a false name and worked for Mercedes Benz until 1960, when he was kidnapped by Mossad agents and taken to Israel. He later faced trial and was hanged for the war crimes he committed.
Josef Mengele, the Nazi 'Angel of Death' responsible for human experiments on Holocaust victims, also found refuge in Argentina and lived in South America until his death in 1979 at the age of 67.It is still suspected that among her [Eva Peron's] possessions, there were pieces of Nazi treasure that came from rich Jewish families killed in concentration camps," the Daily Mail quoted authors Leandro Narloch and Duda Teixeira as writing in the book.
"Peron himself even spoke of goods of 'German and Japanese origin' that the Argentine government had appropriated," they added. (ANI)
