Today is the inauguration of the exhibit entitled “The Just Croatians: Heroes of the Holocaust,” on display in the Salon Dorada in the Casa de Cultura, on Av. de Mayo. According to the government website, the exhibit will display photographs and give information about 39 of the 106 Croatian men, women, and children who showed their solidarity with the persecuted Jews after the Independent State of Croatia was invaded and controlled by the Nazi’s in 1941. In Croatia during the Holocaust, 80 percent of the Jewish population was killed and those who survived escaped either before the war or with the aid of those few Croatians. Their efforts were first recognized by the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem. The Buenos Aires exhibit opens to the public on July 30th and runs until August 17th.
