Argentina’s Federal Police raided a man’s home Tuesday, conducting the country’s largest seizure of materials espousing Nazi propaganda in recent years.
When Argentina’s federal police raided a home on the outskirts of Buenos Aires this week, they found hundreds of books plastered with swastikas and imperial eagles. Some of the works glorified Adolf Hitler, while others denied the Holocaust and provided a revisionist history of World War II.All were part of the country’s largest seizure of materials espousing Nazi propaganda in recent years, officials said in a news conference Wednesday.
“We’re still astonished by the amount of material,” Federal Police Chief Juan Carlos Hernández said during the news conference. “It’s historic. It’s truly a printing press disseminating and selling Nazi symbology, books and indoctrination.” The vendor, Hernández said, sold “high-quality material” and had “a high level of purchases and inquiries.” At some point after the delegation denounced it, the man’s Mercado Libre account was terminated, prompting him to sell the materials through a website of his own, police said.
