'''David Rousset''' (1912–1997) was a French writer, political activist, and former Nazi concentration camp survivor. He is best known for his work documenting and analyzing the horrors of Nazi concentration camps, particularly through his seminal work L'Univers concentrationnaire (1946), which brought attention to the brutality of life in the camps. Having been imprisoned in the [[Buchenwald]] and Neuengamme concentration camps during World War II due to his activities with the French Resistance, Rousset used his personal experiences to shed light on the mechanisms of totalitarian regimes.

Rousset's post-war activism focused on defending human rights and exposing totalitarian abuses, especially in the Soviet Union. In 1949, he famously challenged former prisoners to join him in investigating Soviet labor camps, arguing that such systems were not exclusive to Nazi Germany. His efforts to expose the atrocities committed by Stalinist regimes were influential, helping to shape post-war intellectual debates about totalitarianism.
