The documents are considered a key to important information about the Holocaust and unknown Nazi activities. The old champagne boxes originally came from Japan and were brought to Argentina in 1941.

The remaining boxes were opened on Friday in the presence of the Upper Rabbi of the Jewish community center Amia and representatives of the Holocaust Museum in Buenos Aires.
Extensive research initiated

The most important goal is to determine whether the material “contains important information about the Holocaust” and whether the documents found “can provide information about still unknown aspects”, for example about Nazi money.
Countless Nazis fled to Argentina
