New book exposes dark side of Argentina's famous former first lady Eva Paron, claiming she received Nazi treasure stolen from Jews in return for refuge
A new book exposes the dark side of Argentina's famous former first lady Eva Paron, also known as Evita, claiming the admired figure provided asylum for Nazi criminals fleeing Europe and in return received valuable belongings and money stolen from wealthy Jewish families during the Holocaust.
According to a report published by The Telegraph on Friday, the new book - 'The Politically Incorrect Guide to Latin America’ – claims that after World War II, Switzerland began to inquire whether Argentina kept Nazi treasure hidden in Swiss bank accounts.
The book suggests that during Paron's visit to Switzerland in 1947, as part of a European tour to improve the image of her husband President Juan Peron, she opened a secret account in Geneva.
The well-known Argentinean couple kept their silence over the years in regards to the number of Nazis who had escaped to the South American country after the war, including Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele.

According to the new book: “It is still suspected that among her (Eva Peron’s) possessions, there were pieces of Nazi treasure, that came from rich Jewish families killed in concentration camps."
