Emerich Roth (28 August 1924 - 22 January 2022) was a Czechoslovakian-born Swedish author, lecturer and social worker who worked with spreading information about racism, violence and Nazi atrocities. As a young man, he was an inmate in five different concentration camps, and only he and his sister Elisabeth survived. His father was murdered by the Germans on a death march; the rest of his family were killed in gas chambers and concentration camps. One of the founders of the Holocaust Survivor Association, he published several books on the theme of violence and racism and also starred in many video-recorded documentaries and educational films.
