Eva Peron, the former Argentine first lady, is believed to have kept Nazi treasures taken from wealthy Jewish families killed in concentration camps, according to a new book.
‘The Politically Incorrect Guide to Latin America’ aims to highlight a series of little known controversies about leading leftist figures in the history of the continent.
It claims that Simon Bolivar, the hero of Latin America’s independence wars, was scared that blacks and indigenous Indians would seize power and that Salvador Allende, the Marxist Chilean president of the 1970s, considered a Nazi-inspired policy of sterilisation.
Its authors, the Brazilian journalists Leandro Narloch and Duda Teixeira, said the book is intended to generate discussion about issues airbrushed from history books.

She ruined Argentina for ever, and became a western folk hero like Che and Fidel.
Is she now officially thrown under the bus.
See there. It is now known that El Libertador Bolivar was of african descent and had a faithful African-american valet that stood with him through his last years as he succumbed to TB. Bolivar was worried that the Germans who owned the steamboats on Colombia's Magdalena river had too much influence upon the nascent Republic. What else is this author fabricating?
Why that would be Kin of Hillary Clinton!!\s
Bolivar? Heck, Nefertiti and Cleopatra, and St Augustin, and Basil Rathbone were also of African descent.
***Cleopatra,***
GREEK! From the line of the Ptolomies, one of Alexander’s generals!
And there were as many Nazis 'retiring' in southern Brazil as Uruguay, and Argentina. I wonder what stado the authors hail from?
Florianopalis is the answer you seek, but hey, Who Knows?
SHE ruined Argentina??? Good grief. Who raised her up? Who raised THEM up? Argentina, that’s who.
Nay, It were them Eyetalians, fer sure. Look er up
Quite right, but she wasn’t elected in her own right. Peron was the main enabler; wihtout him, she would have been nothing. Interestingly, she was also an actress and used to be his mistress.
Don’t cry for me Argentina, let Israel do all the crying.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
