Argentina's Supreme Court Uncovers Nazi Files of ‘Global Significance’ in Basement

Over 80 boxes of Nazi-era documents were discovered in the basement of Argentina’s Supreme Court, decades after being seized in 1941. Originally sent from the German embassy in Tokyo via the Japanese ship Nan-a-Maru, the crates were claimed to contain personal items but were held by customs and seized following an investigation into anti-Argentine activities. Recently opened, the boxes revealed material aimed at spreading Adolf Hitler’s ideology in Argentina. The Supreme Court called the discovery of “global significance” and ordered a detailed analysis to determine if the documents offer new insights into the Holocaust and global Nazi financial networks.
