Stories of Patagonia Argentina

It is my wish that many people, whether tourists or neighbors, know these special places full of stories. In this case, the preserved representation of Jewish immigration in the southernmost group of the world occurred in 1906, whose temple, school and a family house of the time converted into a museum brings us closer to the lives of hundreds of people who left their native countries, especially from Poland, most came with Russian passports and that is why that place is popularly known as Russian Colony (as it was formerly called), although after the installation of a church and school of priests decided to change its name to " Colonia Fatima "

Brief History: More than 100 years ago a sum of reasons made a group of Russian Jews decided to emigrate in search of new horizons: the persecutions of Jews, the infamous pogroms, the economic situation, a war that was engendered, a future unpredictable, and perhaps the idealism that in the work of the earth would find a new destiny for them and their descendants.

hola @Mabel_Szerman , me gusta mucho tu post, leer sobre el y conocer un poco mas sobre, lo que para mi serĂ­a el principio de la patagonia norte de Argentina, considerando que yo vivo en la Tierra del Fuego.

No tuve oportunidad de pasar por donde posteaste y leer sobre esa parte de la historia en estas vacaciones llegué hasta Esquel y luego emprendí el regreso por la ruta 3, pero agendaré esta ciudad para visitar en el futuro, toda la historia de los emigrantes europeos es apasionante, casi toda una epopeya, digna casi de compararla con las dificultades y heroísmos como fue la llega del hombre a la luna. gracias por compartir, pero por favor cuéntanos mas historias de allí me gustaría poder leer mas de allí.

saludos Farid.

Farid : es muy interesante esta zona de Patagonia norte !¡
