Greta Ferušić

Greta Ferušić Weinfeld (born c. 1929) is a retired professor of architecture at the University of Sarajevo and survivor of Auschwitz and the Siege of Sarajevo.[1]

Weinfield was the only member of her family to survive the Holocaust. After the war, she studied architecture at the University of Sarajevo. Later she became dean of the Architecture School there. Refusing to be dislocated when the siege of Sarajevo began in April, 1992, Greta and her husband shared in the fate of their city.

In 1997, Haris Pašović produced and directed a biographical film, Greta, about her.[2][3]

In February 2004 Ferusic was awarded the Polish Auschwitz Cross (Krzyż Oświęcimski).[4]
