Salomon Isacovici

Salomon Isacovici (1924 – February 1998) was a Romanian-born Ecuadorian Jewish Holocaust survivor who became a writer and businessman in Ecuador.

Born in Romania, he moved to Ecuador following World War II, and co-authored with Juan Manuel Rodriguez the book Man of Ashes.

[1] He was deeply concerned that the treatment of Ecuadorian indigenous peoples by the Spanish was comparable to those in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany.

[1][2] The university press described the book as important to Holocaust studies as a rare account of a Romanian and Latin American Jew.

Rodriguez threatened legal action, stating that the book was fictionalized, incorporated some of his own memories, and argued he was the main author and should be credited as such.
