conditions required to comply with the Jewish tradition; one of its first actions was to open a community cemetery. This sought to legitimate Jewish presence as a minority that
constitutes the Argentine society. On July 18th, 1994, a series of celebrations to commemorate its centennial were
interrupted. A bomb was planted in the emblematic venue of the Argentine Jewish Community. The memory is still alive of the 85 killed and hundreds wounded.
Yaacov Agam, a world-renowned Israeli plastic artist, created the Monument to the Memory of the Victims of the Terrorist Attack on AMIA. The work asserts both the commitment to
the victims’ memory by honoring their spirit and vital legacy, and the demand for justice of their relatives and society at large.

“The origins of tango are obscure, a mixture of rhythms –including those of Africa– that succeeded one another on the banks of the Rio de la Plata. Along the way, the tango took
on the feelings of the people, thus becoming a spokesman for them, a reflection of social change. Tango became an expression of human behaviour and emotion. The mixture of
cultures that make up the Argentinean nation found within a tango a means of shrugging off sorrow. It is very much the music of Buenos Aires”.
