In 2007, Susan Ormiston sat down with Canadian businessman and philanthropist Peter Munk, who died Wednesday at the age of 90. Munk, the founder of Barrick, discussed his story of escaping Hungary on the train of Rezso Kasztner, who negotiated with Nazis to help more than 1,000 Jewish people leave the Nazi-occuped country in 1944.
