An Unsolved Case: The Argentine Mutual Jewish Association (AMIA) Bombing in Buenos Aires
March 10, 2009
In 1994, the Argentine Mutual Jewish Association (AMIA) community center in Buenos Aires was bombed, killing 85 people and wounding 151 others. This is the single deadliest act of anti-Semitic terrorism in Argentinean history. Dr. Alberto Nisman, now the Argentinean Special Prosecutor on Terror, has committed much of his life to pursuing those responsible for the attack.
Dr. Nisman, who is visiting the United States for the first time in his life, will be our guest speaker, along with Asaf Shariv, Consul General of Israel; Edward OCallaghan, former Co-Chief of the Terrorism and National Security Unit of the US Attorney Southern District; and Harlan Levy, Partner, Boise Schiller Flexner and Former Major Crimes Prosecutor at Manhattan DA Office. The event is being sponsored in part by the Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center.

#eatArgentina - Argentine food series from Buenos Aires (New episodes every Friday)
Hey guys! We're thrilled to announce a new Argentine food series from Buenos Aires: #eatArgentina
The plan, now that we're back in Buenos Aires for a month, is to make as many food vlogs as we possibly can all over the city. We're looking for suggestions of Argentinian foods to eat and restaurants where we can try the specific dishes. Our preference would be to know of restaurants in the Recoleta and Centro barrios since our apartment is within walking distance from there.

ARGENTINA: BUENOS AIRES: ARGENTINA HONOURS EMILIE SCHINDLER
Spanish/Nat
Argentina on Wednesday honoured the widow of Oskar Schindler, the Czech businessman credited with saving the lives of more than one thousand Jews during the Nazi holocaust.
Emilie Schindler, now 87 years old, was awarded the Order of May - Argentina's highest honour for foreign citizens - in recognition of the part she played in her husband's mission.
She lives in Argentina but remains a German citizen.
Recognition at last - the woman who played a crucial role in one of the most extraordinary episodes of the second world war.
Emilie Schindler took centre stage at the San Martin Palace in Buenos Aires, accepting her award in the presence of ambassadors, Jewish leaders - and the Argentine foreign minister:
SOUNDBITE:
It is an honour for Argentina to have her here, as part of our multi-cultural society and I am honoured to be able to present her with this award.
SUPER CAPTION: Foreign Minister Guido di Tella.
Emilie, frail and supporting herself with a cane, managed to attend the ceremony in person - but needed someone else to read her speech for her:
SOUNDBITE:
I have lost everything but my accent. My husband and I have been refugees here in Argentina for 45 years. I am now 87 and have lived here for more than half of my life. Because of the film Schindler's List the whole world now knows about what we did to help the Jewish people during the Holocaust.
SUPER CAPTION: spokesman for Mrs Schindler.
She dedicated the award to those she and her husband, Oskar, failed to save.
The life of Oskar and Emilie Schindler was the subject of Steven Spielberg's 1993 film, Schindler's List. Until then, Emilie had lived relatively unknown in Argentina since 1949.
Both German Catholics, Oskar and Emilie convinced the Nazis to move Jews from the Auschwitz concentration camp to a factory the couple owned in Krakow, Poland, in 1940.
Auschwitz, in Nazi-occupied Poland, was Nazi Germany's largest concentration camp. More than one and a half (m) million people - 90 percent of them Jews - were gassed, shot or starved to death there between 1940-1945.
The Schindlers kept the Nazis at a distance while feeding and caring for their Jewish workers, about twice as many as needed to produce metal coating for German army weapons and materials.
The couple emigrated to Argentina in 1949. Eight years later Oskar left his wife to return to Germany where he died in 1974. He was buried in Jerusalem, at his own request.
Emilie remained in Argentina which she counts as her real home.
SOUNDBITE:
For me it is of great importance. It is a great honour to have this recognition here in Argentina because I am still a German citizen. But I have lived here for almost 45 years. After the war all the Germans and Czechs who were thrown out came here with nothing.
SUPER CAPTION: Emilie Schindler.
Emilie now lives in a one-bedroom flat 45 miles (60 kilometers) south of Buenos Aires, bought for her by local Jewish groups.
Now the Argentine President Carlos Menem has invited her to an audience with him in the near future.

CURRICULUM VITAE OF HAIM A. ASA
Rabbi Asa, the senior rabbi of Orange County, has been the spiritual leader of Temple Beth Tikvah of North Orange County since the mid 1960's. In 1971 the congregation of Temple Beth Tikvah overwhelmingly granted Rabbi Asa life tenure. In 1996 the rabbi became the Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Beth Tikvah. Rabbi Asa is currently a senior chaplain with the State of California Department of Mental Health serving Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk and Fairview Hospital in Costa Mesa, California.
In 1970 the congregation moved to its permanent location, 1600 N. Acacia, Fullerton, California, and in December of 1980 dedicated its new sanctuary and other facilities. Rabbi Asa was instrumental in helping the congregation realize both of these congregational landmarks. During the Rabbi's tenure in Orange County, he saw the congregation grow from a small group of families to approximately 400 families. The Asas have also seen the Orange County Jewish Community grow from 3-4 congregations to approximately 26 congregations today and from 10- 15,000 Jews to approximately 100,000 Jews living here. In June of 2009 the groundbreaking for the Asa Center for Lifelong Jewish Learning took place which honors The Asa's commitment to Jewish Education and the survival of the Jewish People and their many years of dedication to their temple, Temple Beth Tikvah. This will be the new temple school and administrative offices. The new building in the Asa's honor will be dedicated on October 24, 2010.
Rabbi Asa was born in Bulgaria to a family of Sephardic origins; his ancestors escaped the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal in the 15'h and 16'h centuries and found refuge in the Turkish Ottoman Empire.
The Asa family was in Bulgaria during outbreak of the Second World War, and Rabbi Asa's father was one of the leaders of the community responsible for the saving of the Bulgarian Jews during the Nazi Holocaust period.
In 1944, still during the Nazi domination of Bulgaria, Rabbi Asa and his family left Bulgaria and made Aliyah. In Palestine, Rabbi Asa was educated in Aliyat Hanoar Schools and the famous Mikve Israel Agricultural School.
In 1954 Rabbi Asa came to the United States to pursue university studies in New York and California, and graduated from the University of Arizona in 1958. During his studies he worked and taught in a number of synagogues and Jewish camps.
In 1958 Rabbi Asa enrolled in the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles. Upon graduation and before his transfer to Cincinnati to pursue the last three years of studies, Rabbi Asa wed Elaine Barbara Carl of Los Angeles. The Asas spent three years in Cincinnati, and Rabbi Asa was ordained with highest honors in 1963.
From 1963-1966 Rabbi Asa was the Latin American Director of the World Union for Progressive Judaism with headquarters in Buenos Aires, Argentina. During the three years in South America, Rabbi Asa was responsible for all of the liberal congregations south of the United States. Rabbi and Elaine Asa were founders of Congregation Emanu-El de Buenos Aires, a congregation that the Asas still visit every few years in order to renew their social and spiritual ties. Recently they participated in the 40th year celebration of the congregation they founded.
Currently he lives with his wife Elaine in Fullerton, California.

The Elegance of Buenos Aires (Argentina)
Buenos Aires is considered an Alpha World City as listed by the Loughborough University group's (GaWC) 2008 inventory.
The majority of porteños have European origins, with Italian and Spanish descent being the most common, from the Calabrian, Ligurian, Piedmont, Lombardy and Neapolitan regions of Italy and from the Galician, Asturian, and Basque regions of Spain.[18][19]
Other European origins include German, Swedish, Dutch, Greek, Irish, Norwegian, Portuguese, French, Russian, Croatian, English and Welsh. In the 1990s there was a small wave of immigration from Romania and Ukraine.
There is a minority of old criollo stock, dating back to the Spanish colonial days. The Criollo and Spanish-aboriginal (mestizo) population in the city has increased mostly as a result of immigration, from countries such as Bolivia, Peru and Paraguay, since the second half of the 20th century.
Important Syrian-Lebanese and Armenian communities have had a significant presence in commerce and civic life since the beginning of the 20th century.
The Jewish community in Greater Buenos Aires numbers around 250,000, and is the largest in Latin America. Most are of Northern and Eastern European Ashkenazi origin, primarily Russian, German and Polish Jews, with a significant Sephardic minority, mostly made up of Syrian Jews.[21]
The first major East Asian community in Buenos Aires was the Japanese, mainly from Okinawa. Traditionally, Japanese-Argentines were noted as flower growers; in the city proper, there was a Japanese near-monopoly in dry cleaning. Later generations have branched out into all fields of economic activity. Starting in the 1970s there has been an important influx of immigration from China and Korea
British and American expatriates
The Metropolitan Cathedral Since 2004 an increasing number of American and British citizens are moving to Buenos Aires, possibly due to the lower cost of living, many of them opening up businesses and some restaurants have become English-speaking favourites
