Pinchas Gutter 
was born on July 21, 1932, in Lodz, Poland. He was only seven years old when war broke out. His family went to Warsaw because they thought it would be safer but ended up being incarcerated in the Warsaw Ghetto for more than three years. His family was deported to Majdanek. The day they arrived after their horrible journey, his entire family was murdered at the camp. Pinchas was taken to labour camps, including Buchenwald where he was forced to load and unload weights of
iron, 12 years old. Pinchas barely survived, like about one million other
Jewish children survivors.He was liberated in 1945 and taken to Britain with other children for rehabilitation. Pinchas lived many years in South Africa, then immigrated to Canada in 1985. Since arriving in Canada, Pinchas has dedicated his spare time to caring for the aged, helping the disadvantaged and lecturing on the Holocaust. He served as the Honorary Jewish Chaplain at Toronto Jail and Chaplain at St. Elizabeth Hospital and still serves at the Harold and Grace Baker Home for the Aged. Pinchas was the President of Baycrest Men's Service Group and was honoured as Man of the Year by Baycrest in 2001. He lectures on the Holocaust in Toronto, the United States and South Africa and has participated in the March of the Living. He is a member of the committee overseeing help for Holocaust survivors in need at the Jewish Child and Family Services and he is the honourary Cantor in Kiever Synagogue.
