| We start the tour in Plaza de Mayo, creating the historical framework that will allow us to better understand the city, the country and the sites of Jewish BA we will see during the tour. We will see the only memorial to the victims of the Holocaust inside of a cathedral anywhere in the world. And we will talk about Peron and Evita and their relationship with Germany, the Nazi criminals that came to Argentina following World War II and with Jewish community right infront of the famous balcony of the Pink House, from where they used to speak to the Argentine nation. Then we proceed to other neighborhoods to learn about how Jewish people came to Argentina to become Jewish Gauchos. We will visit Once, the BA version of the Lower East Side of NY, where the central Jewish organizations and both Sephardic and Ashlenazic synagogues are located. We visit as well the Palermo and Belgrano neighborhoods, where the liberal Jewish community has settled and we will see the Rabbinical school of the Conservative movement. |
