Peter Munk
Peter Munk, CC (born November 8, 1927) is a Canadian businessman and philanthropist. He is the chairman and founder of the mining company Barrick Gold, the world's largest gold-mining corporation. ==Early years==
Munk was born in Budapest, Hungary into a well-off Jewish family, the son of Katherine (Adler) and Louis L. Munk. Hungary was invaded by Nazi Germany in March 1944 when Munk was a teenager. His family escaped the Nazis on the Kastner train, a train carrying 1,684 Jews to safety in Switzerland, arranged by Rudolf Kastner of the Zionist Aid and Rescue Committee as a result of negotiations with senior SS officer Adolf Eichmann. Eichmann allowed some Jews to leave for Switzerland in exchange for money, gold, and diamonds, that was obtained from the wealthy among them as part of a series of so-called "blood for goods" deals.〔Ligaya, Armina. ("Anna Porter on a Hungarian pariah" ), CBC News, September 21, 2006.〕 Munk graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in electrical engineering in 1952.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.greatpast.utoronto.ca/GreatMinds/ShowBanner.asp?ID=121 )〕
