Biography Milan Karvaš was born on 5 June 1932 in Bratislava. His father was the economist Imrich Karvaš. During the World War II, his father served as the governor of the National Bank of Slovakia and used his position to fund the Slovak National Uprising. Knowing that the regime will punish him for this, Imrich Karvaš moved his family, including young Milan, to Bojnice, although he was not able to escape in time to avoid his own arrest by the gestapo.

Due to the political background of his father, Karvaš was unable to pursue university studies and had to support himself with manual labor while repeatedly applying to various programs. In 2001, he published a biography of his father called Môj otec Imrich Karvaš (My father Imrich Karvaš).
