Rudolph Maximilian "Ralph" Baruch (August 5, 1923 – March 3, 2016) was a German-AmericanCBS executive and the first president and chief executive of Viacom.
Early life
Baruch was born to a Jewish family in Frankfurt, Germany in 1923, but his family fled in the mid-1930s to Paris. His father returned to Germany, however, in 1938 to recruit spies for French counterintelligence services, and his name ended up on the Nazi most-wanted list.
The Emergency Rescue Committee helped the family immigrate to New York City in 1940.[1]
