I'm Ariel, born and raised in the Jewish quarter of Buenos Aires, widely known as "Once", I became an enthusiast of both Jewish history and culture. My grandparents survived the Holocaust and arrived to Argentina in 1948. Thus I decided to embrace my own history and I am writing my PhD thesis about the immigration of the Holocaust survivors to Argentina. I collaborate as a research assistant with the University of North Carolina at the Chappell Hill in a project related to the history of Cuban Jews before the communist revolution. I also teach Holocaust History at the Conservative Rabbinical Seminary in Latin America. As a historian whose area of interest and expertise is the history of Argentinian Jewry, I served as a consultant for the local Jewish Museums - the Holocaust Museum and the Jewish Museum of Buenos Aires. I am the former coordinator of the archive at the Jewish Museum, member of the Jewish Studies Organization in Argentina (Núcleo de Estudios Judíos) and of the Latin American Jewish Studies Association. Licensed Tour Guide of the City of Buenos Aires Working Historian I'm a tour guide, not a driver, so four my tours I would hire a professional driver to get us around.

Ari is warm, caring and eager to share his family's stories in Buenos Aires. We covered a lot but at a relaxed pace (I have a bad knee). Beautiful Libertad Synagogue was a highlight, and we were lucky enough to meet the local...
