Violeta Friedman
Violeta Friedman (1930–2000) was a Jewish Holocaust survivor, activist, and author born in Marghita, Romania.[1] In 1985, she sued Léon Degrelle, former leader of the Belgian fascist party Rex and Holocaust denier, for claiming that Josef Mengele, the SS officer stationed at Auschwitz who had ordered the gassing of Friedman's family, was an ordinary doctor and that no gas chambers existed at Auschwitz.[2][3] In 1995 Friedman published a book titled Mis memorias (My Memories).
