World War II was a conflict of global proportions, with lasting consequences in the history of humanity.
II - The Hermann family
The family built by Maximilian Hermann and Sophie Hans lived scattered in the towns of Quirnbach, Wirges, and Wambach.
III - Lothar and his brother Ludwig
In Dachau, they were tortured to the extent that Lothar lost one eye due to the beatings, and part of the vision in the other.
IV - The Hermanns in South America
Lothar and his wife arrived in Uruguay in 1938 aboard the steamship Alsina. They lived in Montevideo for two years, but later decided to follow Hugo to Argentina.
V - His daughter Silvia
She is Lothar's only daughter, 12 years old, who decides to invite a friend to a neighborhood event. At the door, her father greets them, introducing himself as Adolf Eichmann.
VI - Adolf Eichmann
That's how she discovered that the neighbor just a few blocks away was Adolf Eichmann, one of the key Nazi perpetrators of the Holocaust.
VII - The Persecution
Lothar decides to report his neighbor to the highest authorities, but his voice is not heard. Worse yet, he begins to receive threats and insults.
VIII - La separacion
Lothar had been a victim of the powerful political forces that protected the Nazis in exile. Worried, he sent his daughter Silvia to live with her uncle in the United States; he only saw her again at his wife's funeral.
IX - El juicio
Finally, Eichmann is captured, tried, and sentenced to death in the Israeli court in 1961 in the "Bet Ha'am" hall in Jerusalem. Although recognition never reached Lothar.
Liliana Hermann
Lothar remained almost in complete anonymity for over 20 years, his grave practically reduced to unrecognizable rubble. Until his great-niece Liliana Hermann began her journey of self-discovery, unveiling, along with her roots, the story of Lothar, a silent hero who stood up against the greatest powers in the world.
"Inaugurated in June 2022, the house where Lothar Hermann lived in the town of Coronel Suárez was added to the Map of Museums, Memory Sites, and Documentary Repositories related to the Holocaust in Argentina. This plaque was materialized through Municipal Ordinance No. 7044, promoted by the educational community of Secondary School No. 4 of the Academic Unit 'Julio César Lovecchio.'"
