Jean Gol (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ ɡɔl]; 8 February 1942 – 18 September 1995) was a Belgian politician for the liberal Walloon party Parti Réformateur Libéral (PRL). He was a minister, on several occasions, in the Belgian government, including service as Deputy Prime Minister. Jean Gol was born to Ashkenazi Jewish émigrés (of Polish-Jewish and Lithuanian-Jewish origins). His father, Stanislas Gol (1908–1976), born in Warsaw, and Léa Karny (1911–2001), born in Liège to parents born in present-day Lithuania (then Russian Empire), were both medical doctors with diplomas from the University of Liège. After the Nazi invasion of Belgium in 1940, the Karny family and their stepsons took refuge in England, via France, Algeria, Morocco and Portugal. Stanislas Gol enlisted in the Belgian Army in the United Kingdom, and Léa gave birth to Jean in exile. The family returned to Belgium in 1945, but Léa's parents, Coussel Karny (1883–1944), and Yocheved Chamech (1886–1944), had gone back to Liège in December 1940, and had been deported to Auschwitz concentration camp in July 1944, and didn't survive deportation. After the Second World War, Gol grew up in Belgium and studied law. He obtained a doctorate in law at the University of Liège. He cofounded in 1964 with François Perin the Parti wallon des travailleurs (PWT) and the Parti Wallon in 1965.
