I took a tour with the Weinbaums of Jewish Buenos Aires, which primarily consisted of visiting two major synagogues, one Ashkenazi and the Sephardic, as well as several monuments to tragedies -- the AMIA bombing of 1994 and the kidnapping and murder of many (disproportionately Jewish) during the last dictatorship. We found it interesting that the Sephardic synagogue had bright stained-glass windows depicting places and individuals, contrary to the tradition in many synagoguges that disavow any realistic image of an individual.
