The Buenos Aires Shoah Museum, the only of its kind in Latin America, serves as a museum, memorial and moral reminder by telling the story of the Holocaust and its impact in Argentina and wider South America.The museum is supported through the Holocaust Memorial Foundation, and was declared a ‘Site of Cultural Interest’ by the city of Buenos Aires in 2006.
Under the slogan, ‘To remember is to avoid repeating history,’ the foundation’s mission is to keep the memory of the Holocaust present, honor those lost and to serve as a poignant reminder of the atrocities that can stem from racism and xenophobia.
