Leon Greenman (18 December 1910 – 7 March 2008) was a British anti-fascism campaigner and survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp. He gave regular talks to school children about his experience at Auschwitz, and also wrote a book, ''An Englishman in Auschwitz''.

==Early life==
Greenman was born on 18 December 1910 in Whitechapel in the East End of London,〔 which at the time had many Jewish residents. He had two brothers and three sisters.〔 His mother's family were originally Russian Jews. His mother died when he was two years old,〔 and, aged 5, he went to live in Rotterdam with his father's Dutch parents.〔 He trained as a boxer, and returned to London where he became a barber.〔 He also enjoyed singing, and met his future wife Esther ("Else") van Dam at an amateur operatic society in the 1930s.〔 They married in 1935 at Stepney Green synagogue.〔
After honeymooning in Rotterdam, where his wife also had family, the couple settled there.〔 Greenman joined his father-in-law's bookselling business, often travelling to London.〔 He considered returning to live in England in the 1930s, but decided to stay in the Netherlands after hearing Neville Chamberlain's promise of "peace for our time" on the radio in 1938.〔 His son, Barnett, known as Barney, was born on 17 March 1940.〔 Less than two months later, on 10 May 1940, the Nazis invaded the Netherlands.〔
