Enric Marco was a Spanish man who for many years claimed to have been a deportee to Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust, and who had been imprisoned in both Auschwitz and Flossenbürg. However, in 2005, it was revealed that Marco's story was entirely fabricated, and he had never been interned in a concentration camp.
Marco had held positions of authority within organizations of Holocaust survivors in Spain, including serving as president of the Madrid-based Amical de Mauthausen, an association for Spanish survivors of Nazi concentration camps. Upon the revelation of his falsehood, he resigned from his position, and his book recounting his false experiences was withdrawn from publication.
While Marco's deception was ultimately exposed, his case highlights the importance of careful scrutiny of historical accounts, especially when used to inform public discourse or political activism. It also underscores the significance of survivors and people who were impacted by the Holocaust, whose stories must be documented, honored, and respected.
