Sir Frank Lowy has lived many lives. Born in Slovakia in 1930, he lost his father in the Holocaust, he fought in the Arab-Israeli War in 1948 and left Israel in 1952 for Australia to join family members who had settled in Sydney. There, Lowy met fellow immigrant John Saunders and together they opened their first shopping centre in Sydney in 1959, which led to the multi-billion-dollar international shopping centre empire, Westfield Corporation.
