BOOKS by Raanan Rein
Aside from the prominent perpetrators such as Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele or Klaus Barbie, there were numerous other cases of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers from Germany and Austria who ended up in Latin America after 1945. Their life trajectories, professional activities, and contacts to local elites in their new homes have hardly been subject to systematic research to date. Their new lives in Latin America, their careers e.g. as diplomats, secret service agents or scientists are therefore a main focus of this volume. The biographies of these people and their networks are woven into the larger political, social, and scientific contexts of postwar Europe and Latin America, especially in the early Cold War period.
With contributions from: Christian Cwik, Linda Erker, Martin Finkenberger, Kinga Frojimovics, Jutta Fuchshuber, Gustavo Guzmán, Jason Lemberg, Raanan Rein, Holger M. Meding, Ursula Prutsch, Philippe Sands, Andreas Schrabauer, Daniel Stahl, Marianne Windsperger
