The largest collection of Nazi objects in Argentina’s history was discovered outside of Buenos Aires this month.
Around 75 artifacts — including some that were likely used by Hitler himself — were found in a hidden room inside a collector’s home.
Among the disturbing items were magnifying glasses engraved with swastikas, a bust of Hitler, a box of harmonicas, and a scary-looking medical device used to measure heads (an ethnocentric technique used by Nazis to distinguish “Aryans” from Jews).
Authorities suspect that many of the pieces belonged to high-ranking Nazi officials. This theory is supported by photographs found with the collection — one of which shows Hitler using a magnifying glass like the ones confiscated.
