Argentina is to put its former health minister – who protected a Nazi war criminal – on its new 5,000 peso banknote. Ramon Carrillo was Argentina’s first health minister from 1949 to 1954.
But he is well known for supporting Nazi ideals. Moreover, he signed a five-year contract to employ SS Dr Carl Vaernet, who had experimented on gay men in the Nazi’s concentration camps and then fled justice at the end of the war.
