Greta Georgia Beer (née Deligdisch; 25 June 1921 — 23 January 2020) was Romanian Jew who advocated the rights of thousands of other Holocaust survivors and their families, who collectively lost millions in assets during World War II. Her work culminated in a lawsuit against Swiss banks that resulted in a settlement of more than $1 billion. She spoke six languages fluently: Romanian, German, Polish, French, Italian, and English.[1]
She was born and raised in Cernăuți, Romania (now Chernivtsi, Ukraine), and settled in the United States in the early 1950s, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1956.[2]
