Peter Joseph Arnold (Pierre) Schunck (24 March 1906 in Heerlen – 2 February 1993 in Kerkrade), also known as Paul Simons, was a member of the prosperous Schunck family who owned a department store at Heerlen in the Netherlands. He is remembered principally for his involvement in the Dutch resistance in the Second World War when he hid a considerable number of Dutchmen from the Germans and also assisted the Allies during the Dutch liberation. After the war, he returned to the family business and ultimately took up weaving for which he was considered to be an expert.

| - Pierre Schunck (* 24. März 1906 in Heerlen; † 2. Februar 1993 in Kerkrade) stammte aus der Familie Schunck, die ein Kaufhaus in Heerlen besaß. Am bekanntesten wurde er als niederländischer Widerstandskämpfer während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in seinem Wohnort Valkenburg. Nach dem Krieg gründete er das erste Industrieunternehmen auf der damals noch armen Antilleninsel Bonaire in Form einer Textilfabrik für Arbeitskleidung für die Ölindustrie in Venezuela und auf den Nachbarinseln Curaçao und Aruba. Dies war der erste Anstoß für die wirtschaftliche Belebung der Insel, wo zu dieser Zeit noch ein großer Überschuss an alleinstehenden arbeitslosen Frauen herrschte. (de)

- Peter Joseph Arnold (Pierre) Schunck (24 March 1906 in Heerlen – 2 February 1993 in Kerkrade), also known as Paul Simons, was a member of the prosperous Schunck family who owned a department store at Heerlen in the Netherlands. He is remembered principally for his involvement in the Dutch resistance in the Second World War when he hid a considerable number of Dutchmen from the Germans and also assisted the Allies during the Dutch liberation. Pierre initially studied to become a priest but soon joined the family business, initially running a laundry in Valkenburg near Maastricht. From the beginning of the German occupation, he decided to stand up against the Germans and became a member of the LO or , a resistance group whose mandate was to assist persons in hiding. Under the pseudonym of Paul Simons, he headed the Valkenburg chapter. He helped Jews and resistance fighters to hide from the Germans in his laundry as well as in the nearby Valkenburg limestone caves. Furthermore, he assisted both Dutchmen and Allies to move on by issuing them with ration books and coupons and providing them with safe addresses where they could hide. At the approach of the US-American troops in september of 1944, as a member of intelligence group ID18, he provided the Allies first with reports on the German defences and later he organised food for the evacuated population of Valkenburg, who hided in the vast lime caves during the days of the liberation. After the war, he returned to the family business and ultimately took up weaving for which he was considered to be an expert. Pierre Schunck was awarded the dutch Resistance Memorial Cross or Verzetsherdenkingskruis for his bravery during the occupation. (en)
