Laura "Lau" Carola Mazirel (29 November 1907 in Utrecht – 20 November 1974 in Saint-Martin-de-la-Mer, France) was a member of the Dutch resistance during World War II who helped organise the 1943 bombing of the Amsterdam civil registry office. An attorney, she was an early proponent of LGBT rights and the rights of Romani people. She opposed civil marriage due to the then-inferior status of women, and also opposed registration of personal information, which she considered a violation of privacy.[1][2]
