"The unknown photos of Evita Peron"

[Grroocx]

I think it was Hugo Chavez who said the world has always had the two opposing character types. The one redirects its fears toward possession, doing everything it can to gather for its own personal security, sensing in individual wealth some suggestion of future survival; but often (usually) at the risk of greater loss. The second seeks to share, hoping within people, rather than money itself, there is strength and the best chance of a future and happiness. The two kinds of people don't mix well.

[GRAYBARN1]

When visiting with my parish priest last week I became somewhat astonished at a statement he made.The subject that we had been talking about was ,of course,Eva Peron.He suddenly and emphatically stated "If Evita is a Myth,than she is a God made myth and will never leave us" Needless to say this made me feel great as this was comming directly from a cleric.We'er getting there Maria Eva.VIVA EVITA

[GRAYBARN1]

History PROVES one thing.Evita was Argentina.When she had to leave - well we know the rest.Thank you Senora for the most 6 exciting years in Argentine history.VIVA EVITA

[mark44134]

What a strong woman, when she died back then make a difference today? I watch the news today and seems that what she work hard in her life was lost! The women there are still been treated like cattle. What a lost of a polictocal person!

[salta107]

[BarbaraE7]

[MisterPaff95]

[HeavensHelp1]

Say what you want about the woman. I would trade ANY of our politicians for someone like her! She had charisma, charm, and the camera LOVED her.

Realmente un valiosísimo material fotográfico que el Sr. Mazzorotolo al ponerlo en resguardo muy sabiamente logró salvarlo de los odios, las violencias y la irracionalidad.

Para ver una de las páginas visuales en la web dedicadas a Evita Perón visitar el sitio Evita en imágenes realizada por el creativo Mariano Bayona Estradera.

[icebear1946]

Gotta say it: I'd trade any dozen of our politicians for the Perons on the basis of pure talent and commitment.

The thing which makes Eva Peron so stunningly pretty is the bright intelligence which you see in the pictures.

[icebear1946]

Believe it or not, it's actually possible to admire historical figures without having to believe they had the answers for the US in 2010. Chengis Khan was a heroic figure, still worshipped in modern Mongolia; I wouldn't wish his government on anybody today...

[trailblender]

Long live the ideas and ideals of Evita!

[grapemartini]

Muy informativo.

[Maggiesimi]

not to me!

[Miketayfan]

Well everyone has a right to their opinion of course. But how would you describe her ? Common, ugly ? How ? I'm just curios.

[FreedomValentine]

@Miketayfan She is beautiful. She's not a looker, and her face isn't what I'd call stunning but her intelligence and deeds give her an attraction that is very hard to find. Her voice is what really inspires, though- or at least it does to me. It's what I'd point to if I had to define the voice of leadership. That lady knew what she was doing and a lot of people disapprove of her even today, but she definitely demands respect through her actions and her character.

[swiftboy100]

@FreedomValentine Well beauty is subjective but Evita's face, well before the ravages of the cancer took its toll, was indeed striking. Even those that despised the woman & met her were struck. Also in her last film "The Prodigal", she is stunningly beautiful & during her Rainbow Tour. There is a fine balance between Eva the politician which is showcased here & the glamour queen, which is not, because this woman looked smashing in a strapless gown.

[Maggiesimi]

I thought she was beautiful guess not!

[Miketayfan]

You mean she's not beautiful ?

Muy buen video! Gracias por difundir un poco de historia :)

very nice video;)..

MARAVILLOSO

[PelonLatino]

I love Evita. thanks for download the video.

[CSALIVESFOREVER]

Has anyone ever considered Evita might have been intentionally poisoned because she became too popular and powerful and the entities in the shadows were afraid of her like Princess Diana?

[Miketayfan]

I don't think so. Evita was as equally powerful in Argentina as monarchy is in Great Britain or even more I guess. Besides there are witnesses of her illness and those were definitely cancer symptoms.

[EvaPeron92]

I don't think she was poisoned! Just like Miketayfan says, it was quite obvious she was really ill. You can see it clearly on the last pictures that are made from her. Offcourse she was a danger to a lot of people out there and I guess that when she hadn't become ill and she had become vice-president she would have been in danger because of those people. But sadly enough she has passed away of cancer!!!

[gotgrammar45]

Evita definitely had cancer. A lot of specialist think that Juan gave her (and his first wife) the HPV virus that caused their cancer, and both of them couldn't fight it off. Also, there are records where the army intelligence recorded the amount of blood she lost during her final year.

[nippur1980]

Peron was a fascist, no surprise that after he was thrown out of power he escaped to the arms of his peer dictators Stroessner and Franco. Eva was an instrument to bring the control of the masses, and the so called "love" for the people was not unconditional, it easily tuned into hate towards opositors. They instaured the cult of their personalities, "a la Ceacescu".

[Miketayfan]

I cannot agree about comaprison with Ceausescu's. To me Elena and Nicolae were very simple if not even retarded, mean spirited people that were power hungry. Eva and Juan wanted to reform Argentine politics and did so.

[Miketayfan]

Plus Evita never gave herself scientist titles like Elena did. Eva was not ashamed of her origin unlike Elena who only betrayed people same as she was. Eva cared for simple people and visually changed their lives. Besides Latin America and Europe are way to different for any comparison.

[nippur1980]

Miketayfan, I don't know where you're from, but the Argentina of the fifties was not so different to Europe. Eva never got scientific titles but argentine academia ws forced to endorse a postulation for Literature Nobel Prize for a book she was credited for (bur probably never wrote). And definitely they were power hungry (school books were reformed praising the Perons, major cities where renamed after them, etc).

[Miketayfan]

But Peron's never cut off electricity or gas and let people die in horrendous conditions just because they decided country must start saving money. Personally I think Ceausescu's were very barbarian while Eva & Juan tried to make some reforms. They certainly improved health care, education and made better living conditions for simple people.

[nippur1980]

Obviously the were not exactly the same...but education? Apart from setting fire of a couple of libraries, one of peronism lemmas was "Alpargatas si, libros no". Hope you can read spanish. If you don't like the comparison with the Ceacescus, let's put it the Mussolini and Clara Petacci way...they also improved conditions for simpler people at the beggining.

[Miketayfan]

Well I am pro - peronist and I might not agree on some things but comparison to Mussolini is actually better and in some ways for me more accurate knowing that Juan D. Peron openly admired Benito Mussolini very much. But Clara Petacci could only dream of such power that Eva Peron had. Mussolini I guess was not the one into sharing power. Especially with woman ;-)

[pampero1234]

i would like to explain the context of "Alpargatas si, libros no".

That was a response to "Abajo la dictadura de las Alpargatas" (get down the dictatoriship of the Alparagatas) said by a group of students.

My father could go to the University FOR FREE because Peron cancel the payment to access to superior studies...

Greetings "cumpa"!

[AniaPolonesa]

I'll tray: People say that when Evita came to Spain to sell the wheat, she realised that a woman was in prision accused of terrorism. Evita talked with Franco, and this woman was free, you understand now?

[AniaPolonesa]

You can tell what you want, but you should read a bit about Evita's visit to Spain. She didn't like Franco or his wife and she went to poor areas in Madrid to help poor people. If Evita shouldn't have sign a tratade by Argentina was selling wheat to Spain, Spain would have died of hunger. Read something!

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

she didn't like Franco? Good!

[AniaPolonesa]

Of course not! She was great, and people say that because of Evita, a woman who was accused of terrorism was pardoned (in Spanish is "indultada")

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

huh? Can you please explain the second part of your comment?

[rabalter]

Everyone knows this woman was an opportunist twit who married Peron.....Her foundation used extortion to raise money and the Perons were known to be admirers of Mussolini and Franco. The word democracy was foreign to them. I, for one, am glad she's dead.

[tabugirl]

A twit?By the time she was 30 even the american media was proclaiming her a legend. She challenged those in a country who for decades exploited a large chunk of the country & worked 18 hr days building schools, hospitals, orphanages, old age homes, shelters & even death rates of children with diseases were reduced bcos of improved healthcare. She made the military & the oligarchy tremble & shake in their boots. She was far from being a twit. I would luv to see the accomplishments of her critics.

[rabalter]

So the Peron's were not admirers of Mussolini or Franco? Nor did they use extortion to raise money for "La Fundacion Evita"? Ask the company "Caramelos MuMu" if they were not obligated to give money to Eva's foundation. Wasn't muzzling the Press a habit of Eva and Juan? By the way, I'm Argentine and know a little about this subject. If Eva was so wonderful, why didn't the Catholic church move forward with her cannonization......?

[rabalter]

If we move on to recent history-after this "twit" croaked-her husband was no better....Care to discuss the wonderful people that surrounded Peron.....Lopez Rega? Jose Rucci? Isabel Peron? All of them deserve a special place in Argentina's history.

[neridanielgarcia]

viva evita carajo!muerte a los gorilas asesinos del pueblo!

[abbeyquinn]

esperen un poquito, evita no era ninguna santa ni nada,si cuando se murio le encontraron 300 PARES DE ZAPATOS!!!! SIN USAR ALGUNOS!

eso ERA PLATA DE LOS ARGENTINOS, ESOS A LOS QUE ELLA "AYUDABA".

de dnd salieron los fondos para su fundacion?! DE DONDE?!

dejense de joder con evita santa evita nose qe.., encima ahora todos los que vieron el video y son extranjeros piensan cualquiera..

[evitastories]

Tomas Eloy Martinez wrote that she wasn't a saint but she wasn't a villain either. He also wrote that she didn't steal from her foundation or from anyone else. She loved jewels and furs, but she and Juan Peron had enough money to buy their own, and some jewels were gifts from foreign dignitaries. Frasier and Navarro write that her clothes and jewels were props she consciously used to symbolize Peronist prosperity. Eva said, "The poor don't want to be protected by someone who is dowdy looking."

[evaperonsuclks]

@evitastories I've read Fraser and Navarro's book and it's obviously a whitewash. You should look into Mary Main's book. It tells it like it is! And before you say she was biased, she had EVERY RIGHT to be angry! The Perons destroyed her country.

[elproductor27]

@evaperonsuclks Your country of zionistas destroyed the Argentine one her to get into debt and this way to live of the interests of the debt as the usurers and peron wise very well it since wise hitler one day the god's hand is going to fall down on his dirty diabolical plans and sera his end damned " lives peron "

[VanitasxAura]

@evaperonsuclks I've read the Navarro/Fraiser biography and it tells the truth of Evita. Many people were lured in by lies told by the military and a woman who simply didn't agree with the ideals of Peronism. I adore Evita out of my own free will, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No one is wrong when describing how they feel about something. Please don't get mad at me for saying this.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

so the amount of shoes someone has determines whether or not they're a good person? That's shallow!

[LifeLight7]

It is wonderful that these photos were spared and such a great foresight on the part of the photographer who took these photos and protected them for so many years.

[hussar98]

One thing I do wonder about her, did she somewhat idolize Lana Turner as there been words passed about and modeled her looks after her? The work done through her foundation is what made her attractive. As a leader had she lived she needed more contacts with Meir and met Elanor and other leaders male and female who shared in her passion for common people. From that she could have reached her full potential. She was starting to come into her own when she had not much time left.

[therumtumtuggah189]

foundation? you mean stealing from the oligarchy to build her own wardrobe and the building a lottery and soup kitchen and brainwashing the poor people? what do you think happened after they bought a gumball with the dime she gave them?

[hussar98]

therumturnhuggah189, with that info then direct me to the source, i.e. book or website, I'm going by feedback that common argentines had to say. There is plenty of history to show that Juan would play along with the oligarchy or anyone, he played for his own survival, which did not last long after she died.

[evitastories]

The Eva Peron Foundation (Fundacion Eva Peron) was financed by the government. In a few cases, such as the Mu-Mu candy company, there were cases of pressure to contribute. But for the most part, the contributions were voluntary. Eva Peron's foundation was the first Argentina had seen of any real government assistance, and it equalized health care for the first time in Argentine history. If people want to know why she was so loved, they have to understand this history of the foundation!

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

were they really voluntary? I thought they were forced!

[evitastories]

From what I've read, there were about two or three cases of pressure to contribute, with negative consequences when people didn't contribute. It was mandatory to contribute a day's wages to support the foundation. But you have to remember that at this point in Argentine history there was really no public assistance, no welfare system, etc. If you were poor, there was nowhere to turn.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

that's true. When you put it in that light it's a very different story.

[DanyAKD]

muy buen video

[hussar98]

Elanor strove for rights of Americans, Golda for the restoration of a people, Eva for empowerment of the lower class of which she cmae from. She worked hard to change the structure and as in all revolutions got nasty at times. The contrubutions she made through her foundation reflect her sympathies, to latins and food and clothing to Israeli refugees. Juan had a Jewish peronist faction, he also helped euro fascists escape, in later years thought of living in Castro's Cuba, a "realpolitik" guy

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

I know. Peron was an ass.

[hussar98]

Elanor Roosevelt I think was head and shoulders in character and scruples than most of her contemparies. Eva was a power player but did make many charitable contributions. Juan Peron had no loyalties except to himself and did help Nazis escape. Eva obviously did not care for them but doubtless had knowledge of her husband's activities. She was not all virtue but was not amoral like her husband. Would they have stayed togther if she lived and became vice president? She did have much ambition

[evitastories]

One thing you have to take into account about Juan Peron is that in 1955 when the military revolted against him, he willingly gave up his place of power rather than plunge his country into a bloody civil war. In this, he is contrasted with some of his successors.

[eurargio1]

Who was Eleonor Roosevelt? Can you help me? Is there a discourse of Eleonor Roosevelt with spanish subtitles or a documentary or an Opera, so I can learn something more about her heroism? Is Eleonor remembered by her People? Was her or her husband prohibited by the military during 40 years?

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

Eleanor is remembered and deservedly so! Just because she wasn't beautiful doesn't mean she wasn't as great as Eva. I like to think Eleanor represented all the good Eva would have gotten done if Evita had lived. And yes, Eleanor is remembered by her people- at least the ones that take the time to study history, like myself. If you want to learn about her, google her. It's not that hard es-wikipedia-org/Eleanor_Roose­velt take out the -'s and replace them with .s

[eurargio1]

hussar98, "Peron helped the nazis to escape" you said. Tell me why our nazis were worst than AMERICAN NAZIS or RUSSIAN NAZIS? Maybe you guys took the MORE USEFUL NAZIS, am I right?

[BrotherOfTheTomb]

"or RUSSIAN NAZIS?"

Well, the Soviets first made them speak then killed them. The USA kept them living, just like Perón. If anything, the USSR was the best at dealing with nazis than the greedy bastards from the north or the senile old fool of the south.

[hussar98]

The quote ascribed to Eleanor Roosevelt reflects her admiration for people who try to better life for the lesser ones. Eleanor brought the best out of people. She has been and always will be "America's First Lady" for her concern for dispossesed workers, civil rights and equality. Wish we had more like her.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

I hope I can be!

[hussar98]

That is all for Eva. Now here's a challenge and for humanity's sake, will someone please post videos and information on Congressman Will Rogers JR before this Man's Man slips into collective forgetfulness. This guy had it all and will make any Country Boy, or Native American proud as hell. He CARED! when the holocaust was gathering steam he "raised a ruckus" in congress trying to get refuge for jews wanting to leave europe

and find it in the states. His last days were as painful as Eva's

[hussar98]

The exchange of letters between Eva and Elanor never happened, this was just meant as how history would have been if they did. But Eva being friends with Golda Meir is FACT go to wikipedia espanol look under the biography of Eva Peron and in the article you will see the photo of their meeting.

[tabugirl]

I do not know how Eleanor Roosevelt felt about Eva herself but when Eva died, Roosevelt was quoted to have said "she was as beautiful as she was brave". This quote made its way into an edition of the pro-peronist "Mundo Peronista" magazine.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

I didn't know that. But I think we can trust Eleanor!

[hussar98]

For those who think Eva was anti semetic go to the spanish version of wikipedia, there is a rare picture of Golda Meir visiting Eva Peron at her foundation in 1951. Golda liked her. You will find this under Eva Peron in the spanish version of wikipedia. In spite of her shortcomings, she did care for the dispossesed. The smearing of her as a person is less to do with her as a leader than what really is just another racist dismissal of any latino or latina who stands up for the lesser ones

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

Thank you for this information, hussar.

[hussar98]

There is one thing that I like to ponder; Eleanor Roosevelt and Evita Peron collide in letters then become friends. One could imagine how the Americas would look today in such a friendship. See the movie with Ester Goris to understand Evita, and do yourself a favor and read up on Eleanor. All the benefits of the new deal and the advancement of civil rights we can thank Eleanor for more than her husband. Come to think of it not only the America's would be diffrent but the world as well.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

Eleanor and Eva exchanged letters? When? I never heard about that! I've studied Eva's life for seven years. I'm not saying I don't believe you, I just want to know where! This is really cool!

[LifeLight7]

Thank you so much for this video. I admire Evita so much. I read everything I can find about her. I see her as the stong, beautiful, powerful WOMAN that she was and remains. I see the love for her people in her eyes. I wish I could speak spanish and understand her words, but I thank you for giving me the oppertunity of hearing her. Again Thank you for this video.

[joeocho88]

It didn't hurt that she died before she could become old and ugly.

She will always be beautiful and what she did for the rights of the poor and of women in a machismo infested culture must never be forgotten!

She challenged the social order of elites and peons and she had things done!

I am sorry she died of cancer which can be so easily cured today.

[GTOPatrick]

Thank You for this video I appreciated it. One suggestion I have is that to me the pictures rotated too fast, especially if you are reading the subtitles. Thank You.

[OdileClio]

Eva era carismatica y mucho; ayudo a los pobres pero endeudo a Argentina llevandola a una gran devaluación, llevo su catolisismo a la laicicidad de las escuelas, apoyó el voto para la mujer, fue actriz (pero no una muy buena :P)fue una mujer en la politica (como puede serlo un hombre en la política) con la diferencia y grande de la epoca en que lo hizo. Fue grande y hasta su momia levanta controversia.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

hey, miketeyfan, do you have the actual PICTURES that the vid mentions?

[Miketayfan]

Hello there :) I do have presantation made with the use of Alfredo Mazzorotolo pictures. Just leave me a note on pm with some e-mail and I'll share it gladly. I'm sorry it took me 3 weeks to notice this comment and reply.

[kimberlygalisteu]

♥Graçias ♥

[erikfofo]

Never underestimate the power of myths. Eva Peron recieved money to give refuge to some of the worst Nazi warcriminals and her rule was authoritarian. Her government was corrupt as Latin American governments usually are. The cult of personality surrounding her created a myth that lives on to this day.

[EnzFab73]

There's no evidence that Evita was involved with the hiding of the Nazi's. Historian T.E. Martinez stated: "It is true that Perón facilitated the entrance of Nazi criminals to Argentina .. hoping to acquire advanced technology developed by the Germans .. But Evita played no part." A D Ortiz stated the only thing you can accuse Eva with is serving tea to her husbands foreign guests. According to several scholars, no evidence exists that she was a Nazi sympathizer.

[erikfofo]

Absence of evidence is not necessarily absence of guilt. It just means that you can't prove something. I think all evidence has been destroyed. No she probably wasn't a Nazi sympathizer, but I do believe she was without scrouples when it came to aquiring power. I don't believe in angels, not in this world nor in the next...

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

I don't think enzfab was saying that Eva was an angel, that just eva was probably not a nazi sympathiser.

[erikfofo]

I get that point, I just think it's worth remembering that Nazi warcriminals were pouring into Argentina in the years following WW2 with the support of many members of the Argentine establishment, Peron inclusive. There's no way that this could have happened without her knowing about it. Of course that doesn't make her a Nazi, just a person who took advantage of the technical know-how of German scientists and the huge fortunes that had been looted by the Nazi's in Europe.

[EnzFab73]

Peron wasn't the only politician to smuggle Nazi's. According to the evidence, Americans, the English, the Soviets were "rivals" in their quest to appropriate sought-after Nazi scientists/technicians".

Do the names Klause Barbie & Walter Schreiber ring a bell? Schreiber was a Nazi war criminal/scientist & was used for years by the US Air Force. How about OPERATION PAPERCLIP? How about Ante Pavelic who was aided by a Vatican Arch-Bishop (yes the Vatican were Nazi-sympathizers too).

[EnzFab73]

CONT- So Peron wasn't the only crooked politician. Yet the detractors hardly ever mentioned the others that harboured Nazi criminals.

According to a researcher from the Hebrew Uni.of Jersusalem, Leonardo Senkman, he "insists on throwing the heaviest responsibilty.. on the Vatican & on the Americans".

Again, there is no evidence of Eva being involved with the Nazis according to certain scholars & eyewitnesses.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

i think you're arguing to the wind.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

it doesn't surprise me that the Vatican were nazi sympathisers, I mean, they started the Inquisition. go ahead and flame me for saying that, I DON'T CARE.

[justmiau]

Flame you? o.k.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

that's not much of a flame.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

I never thought about it that way- I've thought about who I admire now, and took a critical look at myself. You may be right about all evidence being destroyed. Besides, enzfab saying they weren't the only politicians is a very weak argument. I've changed who I admire- it's now Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I

[erikfofo]

All right, let me just point out that I'm not against women in politics or women having power. I also find some historical women fascinating. The greatest ruler in the history of the Scandinavian countries was a woman, Margrethe the 1st. who united all Nordic countries in the Kalmar Union. And she did it almost without war or violence.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

I knew about her, but only a little bit. that was a long time ago...

[erikfofo]

So was Elizabeth 1

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

I didn't mean anything by that. About Eva, I think it was a good thing that she got Argentine women the vote and did some things for the working class. But as you said, she was w/o scruples when it came to acquiring power. On a lighter note, her husband reminds me of a saner version of Kefka from FF6(explained in another comment

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

About Kefka- the guy was practically insane, he thought about nothing except becoming king of the world, he used everyone, killed his best friend, poisoned a whole country just for kicks, and one of the NPCs even says"Oppose Kefka and he'll fry you w/ the Light of Judgment- it's no use even trying." Although, I don't think Peron would have gone so low to poison a country for the hell of it.

[hussar98]

Eva was not anti-semetic, she was not perfect, human like us, had bad points same as everyone, died way too early, was still evolving in politics, but dammned remarkable in what she could achieve, sincere in uplifting the common people. I wished she had lived longer, learned more and accomplished more in helping those lesser knowns that still need it the most.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

if you don't believe she was a nazi sympathiser, then why do you keep going on about her like she was some demon?

[erikfofo]

Then why do you keep asking me? Politics is a dirty business. I once saw a documentary about how she came to power and what she did, it wasn't pretty. To me she looks evil. There is nothing to indicate that to give women power in politics makes the world a better place, most of them have been every bit as bad as men. Myths are for dreamers - I'm no such thing.

[evaperonsuclks]

@erikfofo I agree with you.

[eurargio1]

erikfofo, tell me that Von Braun was not a war criminal. The US military that led the Neuremberg trials forgot about the crimes of thousands of nazis that got a job in US or England (or even Russia). Please, WE THE WORLD NEED ANGLOSAXONS TO UNDERSTAND BETTER what your Governments do... Dont let US/UK govt keep stupidizing its own people.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

I'm an AngloSaxon and I do not deny the ugly parts of US history. When I went to Space Camp, von Braun was put up on a VERY high pedestal- it was scary.

[evitastories]

I have corresponded with a very well known and respected professor of Latin American history in a very well known university. He told me that in all the research he did, including reading the archives at Library of Congress in Washington DC, he found no evidence that Eva Peron was ever present during any negotiations to allow Nazis into Argentina. He told me she had nothing to do with it. Smuggling Nazis was an international scheme (including the US and Vatican) that cannot be blamed on Eva.

[m2391]

Never under estimate someone with passion to change to world!

[emmanuel71ar]

El legado de Eva Perón aún palpita en los corazones de los que reclaman justicia e igualdad. Esa semilla que nos acerca a la humanidad habrá de fructificar en los corazones dispuestos a luchar por esos valores, y será una barrera inexpugnable para los corazones marchitos que se congratulan de la explotación y el odio.

[SANTIVERA]

un orror sinseramente

[Mistypok]

The blond woman speaking is Isabelita Perón?

[Kuzukihana]

Eva is so beautiful! When I first was told her story, and how she was so determined and kind, I was inspired to work hard! Also, who did the English subtitles on this video? They misspelled countless words wrong!

"I will be out there with all the women of my country, I will be out there with the descamisados, dead or alive..." Eva amazes me with her love for Argentina.

[mimi2957]

"They misspelled... words wrong." Is there a right way to misspell words?

[jaroslav70]

Eva Peron was a Fascist. She fraternized with Ante Pavelic, Josef Mengele, Dinko Sakic etc. She was a monster in reality.

[EnzFab73]

Where is the proof? Sounds more like Anti-Peronist gossip, yellow journalism & malicious rumours since not ONE historian has ever mentioned this. Some may believe it, others like myself prefer to believe scholars/historians like Navarro, Page, Crassweller etc who have spent years researching Peron & Evita & they paint a completely different picture.

[tabugirl]

She was a "monster" who thru her foundation built over 1000 schools, over 100 hospitals, thousands of homes for lower income families, orphanages, old age homes, shelters for run away girls, shelters for unwed mothers, send food, clothing & blood plasma to other countries like Turkey, Isreal, Ecuador & even the US & trained thousands of nurses. This "monster" also personally visited shanty towns handing out food/medicine/clothing & worked 15 hours of the day.

[tabugirl]

CONT:

This "monster" also put her money where her mouth is & is the only woman in the last 100+ years (other than Mother Theresa) who did that much for the poor in the shortest amount of time (6 years) while others before her (& after) in her position just talked the talk, did nothing, sat back & sipped their mate in their multi-million dollar estancias. This "monster" named Eva Peron deserves her legendary status.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

don't forget princess di too- but you're exactly right! Eva was a complex woman.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

we know that now but they didn't then.

no soy "evitista"pero reconozco que si bien hubo muchos errores, cambio muchas cosas en pos de los pobres y en especial le dio voto a la mujer.

No la quiero pero la respeto como un ser politico que cambio el rumbo de la historia de nuestro pais, para bien de algunos y mal de otros,,, como siempre...sea quien sea el que este en el poder..

gracias por el video

SOY HUNGARA,Y YO QUIERO MUCHO EVITA!!

[breathlessmahoney1]

I love this woman!! Im not argentinian and I dont have any connection with argentina but I have always been interested in history and biogrpahies. To me Eva was a huge inspiration, from being a poor girl who had nothing to becoming this strong, passionate, caring woman however she may have got there, I admire her tremendously. And its so sad that her life ended so tragically and way before her time! God bless her.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

I agree with you- Eva has NEVER stopped inspiring me!

[mikewoollett]

absolutely brilliant

La más GRANDE

[musicaltheatergeek79]

mechar2: She was 33 when she died. Anyway, I concur. This is a glossed-over version of history. Still, I admire the woman's tenacity.

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

wait- you agree with him that it's good that she died when she was 33?

[ILoveCarz101]

actually, she died at 32.

[mechar2]

Se olvidaron de nombrar las listas negras, el terror que sembro el peronismo con eva y domingo, la destruccion de la oposicion, la obligacion de ir al velorio de este triste personaje ambicioso, egocentrico, si no te afiliabas al partido te pedian la renuncia. Peron era seguidor de Mussolini, uno de los dictadores mas sanguinarios de la historia. Por suerte se murio a los 32 y no le dio mas tiempo para destruir la estructura politica y economica del pais.

Un horror que puedas celebrar el sufrimiento y la muerte de alguien con cancer! Realmente estas demostrando tu resentimiento y tu falta de humanidad, independientemente que estes a favor o en contra de Eva Peron....Seguro debes ser de esos católicos que van todos los domingo a misa con Videla!!!!!!!

[adri472]

No no, she's the photographer's daughter.

[dillerto]

Otro liberal de pacotilla, carpincho. Todos exigen tolerancia, pero nunca otorgan ni una sola divergencia de opinión. As allways, nice masonic point of view.

[carpincho79]

Desde ya que es preferible ser liberal..."inclusive de pacotilla". Antes que ser hipócrita como tantos que se rinden a los pies de un altar y en nombre de Dios hacen las cosas más horrorosas. Hay que sacarse el antifaz (y la sotana) y darle el nombre que le corresponde a cada cosa. Divergencia de opinión?! Celebrar el cancer de otra persona más que divergencia de opinión es atroz. Estás mostrando tu lado más primitivo!

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

celebrating someone's death is sick, no matter what your political point of view, I concur.

[evaperonsuclks]

@AndromedaMariaCarmen they celebrated her death because they thought that Argentina could be saved. Unfortuantely, the damage was done.

[Lyktwz]

Nunca fui peronista, y vengo de una familia profundamente antiperonista, pero estoy convencido que debemos conocer nuestra verdadera historia. Evita es una parte fundamental de esa historia, y un ejemplo en muchos sentidos.

[alex55ep]

Muchisimas Gracias es un exellente Material. Una mujer inimitable eva!!!

[doncshofem]

buenisimo, me encanto. sigue emocionandome la sola idea de una mina como Evita...es uno de los pocos pasajes de nuestra historia que me moviliza muchisimo (creo a muchos les pasara lo mismo)

gracias por subirlo !
