**Roman Halter** (7 July 1927 in [Chodecz](/source/Chodecz) – 30 January 2012) was a Polish painter, sculptor, writer, architect and Holocaust survivor.[1] He managed to escape from a cart while on a transport to [Chełmno extermination camp](/source/Che%C5%82mno_extermination_camp). His mother, sister and her family were murdered in Chełmno.[1][2] After the war he moved to Britain and became an architect, establishing practices in London and Cambridge.[1]

In 1950, he married the Olympic swimmer [Zsuzsa Nádor](/source/Zsuzsa_N%C3%A1dor).[3] A memorial bench in the couple's honour was installed at [Crouch End Lido](/source/Crouch_End_Lido), where they used to swim, in the presence of the Mayor of Haringey, Sheila Peacock, [Catherine West](/source/Catherine_West), MP, in 2020.[3]
