Accounts of the last military dictatorship (1976-1983), which was responsible for the disappearance of thousands of people of Jewish origin, have contributed to this image. Memories that Lie a Little , however, challenges this view, shedding new light on Jewish experiences during the military dictatorship. Based on extensive archival research, it maps the positions of a wide range of Jewish organizations toward the military regime, opening the way for a better understanding of this complex historical period. If, then, the dictatorship was not actually anti-Semitic in the strictest sense of the term, why is it remembered as such? Historical research is complemented here by a reconstruction of the ways in which the notion of the regime’s anti-Semitism was crafted from early on, and an examination of its uses, as well as the changes that this narrative underwent in the following years.Jewish Latin America11.AntisemitismArgentinaHistory20th centuryJewsArgentinaHistory20th centuryPolitical cultureArgentinaHistory20th centuryArgentinaPolitics and government1955-1983AntisemitismHistoryJewsHistoryPolitical cultureHistory305.892408209047Kahan Emmanuel Nicolás1977-1731826Foster David WilliamNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910838258403321Memories that lie a little4144952UNINA
