Background
Dr. Juan Fried (born Janos Fried) (1924-2007) was a Hungarian Holocaust survivor who went to Venezuela before coming to the
United States. He was a doctor of internal medicine for the Veterans Administration in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Fried began
the wine label collection in retirement circa 1990. Because of his ability in languages (English, Italian, French, Spanish,
