Germany in 1933 and featuring the young doctor Jakob Morath: Morath schlägt
sich durch and Morath verwirklicht einen Traum. In these works, the institution
is the main space in which the different characters linked to the protagonist
converge, enabling the author to depict the complex relations within the German
population of the time, as well as between this group and the local society. Hesse
constructs two novels with a highly critical vision of a social group that he got to
know very closely while he was a doctor at the German Hospital.
Mariana González Lutier. "La Comisión de Investigación de las Actividades
Antiargentinas: el caso de la Goethe Schule, 1938-1942" (The Commission for
Investigation of Anti-Argentine Activities: the Case of the Goethe School, 1938-
1942). This article investigates the reasons for creating the Commission and the
consequences of its work relating to the Goethe School. The study draws from
the original documents of the Commission concerning the German schools.

Rudolf Hepe. "La F.A.A.G. Federación de Asociaciones Argentino – Germanas"
(The Federation of Argentine-German Associations). Hepe describes the foun-
dation, duties, and history of the FAAG to the present day. The Federation was
founded in 1955 in order to achieve the restitution of the properties which had
been confiscated after the Second World War by the Argentine state. It acted on
behalf of German institutions, businesses, people, and especially associations
and schools, and to get back the legal identity for them. It reached this goal in
ten years. From then on, the FAAG took over administrative tasks and commu-
nication with German institutions, as well as organizing festivities for the German
community.

Robert Kelz. „Las arcas de la musa: cómo la Buenos Aires de habla alemana
financió sus guerras culturales" (The Muse's Coffers: How German Buenos Aires
Financed Its Culture Wars). This article examines the financing of culture wars in
German Buenos Aires during World War II, Peronism, and much of the Cold War.
It investigates how administrators, artists, diplomats, and journalists wooed
donors, placated sponsors, and renewed and reinvented funding partnerships
for rival German cultural institutions abroad. Key topics in this analysis are inclu-
sion/exclusion, integration, transnationalism, and cultural competition between
factional German populations in Argentina during the mid-twentieth century.
Hans Knoll. "La Oficina de Asesoramiento para Emigrantes (Auswandererbe-
ratungsstelle) de la Unión Germánica (Deutscher Volksbund für Argentinien)
después de la Primera Guerra Mundial: origen, funciones y controversias". (The
Germanic Union [Deutscher Volksbund für Argentinien] Advisory Office for Emi-
grants [Auswandererberatungsstelle] after World War I: Its Origin, Functions, and
Controversies). A significant and uncontrolled German immigration was expected
in Argentina after the war. In mid-1919, the Germanic Union responded with the
creation of an "Advisory Office for Emigrants." Initially, this office was supported
by the whole German colony in Buenos Aires and the Chief of the German
Embassy’s Migration Affairs Department, who intervened successfully in the
migratory political decisions of the Advisory Office. Organized into three sections,
