Sir Ben Helfgott MBE (born 22 November 1929) is a Polish-born British Holocaust survivor, Olympian and former champion weightlifter. He is one of two Jewish athletes known to have competed in the Olympics after surviving the Holocaust, along with Alfred Nakache, a French champion swimmer and water polo player. However, depending on the definition of 'surviving the Holocaust' there could also be others, such as swimmer Susie Halter (originally Zsuzsa Nádor), who escaped from a forced march on her way to a slave labour camp, and then survived in hiding in Budapest. Helfgott has spent his adult life promoting Holocaust education, meeting with national leaders in the UK to promote cultural integration and peace.
