In this Plaza Judería, there is this plaque dedicated to Violeta Friedman.
It was inagurated in 2019 by the major of Málaga and the act was made by Movimiento contra la intolerancia (MTI) "movement against intolerance".
The importance of Violeta was: "Violeta Friedman (1930–2000) was a Jewish Holocaust survivor, activist, and author born in Marghita, Romania. 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. In 1995 Friedman published a book titled Mis memorias (My Memories)."
Friedman died in Madrid on 30 October 2000."
