I dated an “Argentinian” girl in college called Julia Göring. She told me that unlike most families with Nazi related last names, hers decided to keep theirs per her grandmother’s insistence.
One of my relatives was named Adolf. He died in the 1970s.
Everybody in my family is Jewish.
When Hitler was born, Adolf was one of the 50 most popular first names in Germany, even though he wasn’t born in Germany.
His parents came over pre-war, but it blew my mind when I found out the former dictator of Peru (Alberto Fujimori) was of Japanese ancestry.
I mean there’s no reason why an ethnically Japanese man can’t rule Peru, but it still was not something I expected at all.
Maybe it’s just personal prejudice?
Wasn’t there already a German population before WW2 because there is a small patch in Argentina with similar climate to Germany?
Argentina during that time is like the US now - such a promising country. People migrated there in flock.
I don’t think you can shit post facts. Know an Argentine girl, last name is so German she’s not allowed to cross the Rhineland.
A picture of Mussolini could work also, so many Argentinians I know have Italian last names (as well as German).
