David Hamilton (born David Zwingerman) (24 September 1923 – 10 February 2007) was a British businessman who escaped from Nazi Germany as a boy before the Second World War on the first Kindertransport ship to England. He subsequently made a fortune in real estate and fashion but worries over the possibility of another Holocaust caused him to place much of his money in a foundation in Liechtenstein, the division of which became a source of bitter legal wrangling after his death.[2]
