Samuel Wainer
Samuel Wainer (December 19, 1910, Bessarabia - September 2, 1980, São Paulo) was a Brazilian journalist and author. Born to a Jewish family of Bessarabia, he soon moved to Brazil and settled in the São Paulo district of Bom Retiro. He founded and directed the Diretrizes magazine and the Última Hora newspaper[1]. He was married to Danuza Leão, Brazilian journalist and model, sister of Nara Leão.
He was a reporter of Diários Associados when he interviewed Getúlio Vargas in 1950, with whom he would later keep a close friendship.[1][2] He also faced a strong opposition from Carlos Lacerda and Assis Chateaubriand (owner of Diários Associados) during his career, specially when he founded his own newspaper, that would openly support Vargas presidency.[2]
Wainer was the only Brazilian journalist present at the Nuremberg Trials.[1][2]
