Everything Everywhere Daily - Nazis in South America

On May 11, 1960, an auto worker who went by Ricardo Klement stepped off the bus after his shift at a Mercedes-Benz automotive plant in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 

As he was walking home, he was abducted by several men and thrown into a vehicle.

This was no ordinary kidnapping, however. There was no demand for ransom. That was because this was no ordinary autoworker. This was actually Adolf Eichmann, one of the masterminds behind the holocaust.

Eichmann wasn’t the only member of the German Nazi Party to have found his way to South America. He was one of thousands. 

Learn more about the Nazis who fled to South America after WWII and how they managed to escape on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The SalviSoul Cookbook’ celebrates Salvadoran food and the matriarchs who cook it

Years ago, Karla Tatiana Vasquez tried to search up a recipe for one of her favorite Salvadoran dishes, Salpicón Salvadoreño. The scarce results not only disappointed Vasquez, but created a new mission: to collect and preserve the recipes of the Salvadoran diaspora along with the stories of the women who've been passing them down for generations. In today's episode, NPR's A Martinez visits Vasquez's kitchen to discuss The SalviSoul Cookbook and the relationship between food, migration and trauma.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Why Does a Week Have Seven Days? (Encore)

Most of our major divisions of time are based on some sort of natural event. 

A year is one orbit of the Earth around the sun.

A month is one orbit of the Moon around the Earth.

A day is one rotation of the Earth about its axis. 

However, one of the most commonly used units of time has no natural analog whatsoever.

Learn more about why there are seven days in a week and where the names for the day of the week come from on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
