The Tango of Tendresse

<p>I think about this during my time in Buenos Aires. The memory of the Disappeared is still vivid in this city with its pleasant parks and neighborhoods. What dreadful things these very likeable people did to each other not so long ago.</p> <p>And what a price they paid for harboring monsters! By sheltering the Nazi beast,&nbsp;<em>over 5000 of them in fact,&nbsp;</em>they became its prey. The political and military marriage of German organizational skill and Spanish machismo did neither proud, creating a homegrown fascism of a particularly vicious sort.</p> <p>But then, history in South America is on an operatic scale. George Washington seems a sober fellow compared to the swashbuckling Simon Bolivar. And of course, the continent can swallow three Europes or more &mdash; easily.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/nyphotoreview/the-tango-of-tendresse-c83fb7ed56ad"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
