This is relevant considering that antifascism in Argentina initially emerged more strongly within migrant communities and, in dialogue with local actors, spread throughout society following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. From the beginning, the members of the Argentinisches Tageblatt saw themselves as part of a “global struggle” against Hitler, although the degree of their closeness to communist or social democratic antifascism remains unclear.

El objetivo del siguiente trabajo es indagar en la construcción de las primeras conexiones entre los exiliados alemanes radicados en Buenos Aires y sus congéneres europeos. Esto resulta relevante dado que el antifascismo en Argentina surgió inicialmente con más fuerza en las comunidades migrantes y, en diálogo con los actores locales, se extendió al resto de la sociedad tras el estallido de la guerra civil española. Desde el comienzo, los miembros del Argentinisches Tageblatt se pensaron a sí mismos como parte de una “lucha global” contra Hitler, aunque sus grados de cercanía con el antifascismo comunista o socialdemócrata no estén del todo claros. En mi argumentación, me serviré de los artículos que este periódico reproducía de otras publicaciones: mi hipótesis será que un análisis cuantitativo de estos textos permitirá reconstruir los marcos de referencia de estos exiliados y cómo se insertaban dentro del “combate mundial contra el fascismo”.
