Germán Claus Friedmann is one of the leading historians of German-speaking communities in Argentina in the 1930s and 1940s. He is currently a researcher in the National Council of Scientific and Technical Research of Argentina (CONICET) and a professor of Contemporary History at the School of Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires. Among other academic contributions, his thesis Alemanes antinazis en la Argentina (Siglo XXI, 2010) has had an impact in general historiography and in German studies, placing institutions, personalities, and groups of German-speaking communities in Argentina as dynamic actors in local politics and culture. In this interview, we go through his academic career, analyze the conformation of this specific field of study, reflect on interpretations about the past, and discuss some of his main historiographical contributions.
