Arnold Berliner
Encyclopedia
Arnold Berliner, German Physicist, (Gut Mittelneuland bei Neisse, 26 December 1862 - Berlin
, 22 March 1942, committing suicide), graduated in Physics at the University of Breslau in 1886. He worked in the Research and Development Laboratories of the Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG).
He was good friend of immunologist Paul Ehrlich
, and chemist Richard Willstätter
.
Around the middle of 1912 he proposed to the Editors firm Springer Verlag , Berlin
, and was accepted, as a Director of the then new Scientific Magazine Naturwissenschaften, first published in January 1913, inspired in the older and prestigious British Science Journal Nature
, first published in November 1869.
Berliner went in 1912 to work for Springer Verlag as the Editor of the new Scientific Magazine Naturwissenschaften.
Arnold Berliner was dismissed from the Journal he had founded 22 years earlier, in 1913, on 13 August 1935, because of the racial policies on "non-Aryans" implemented by the Nazi governments.
Such administrative decision was heralded by the British Science magazine: (See Nature 136, 506-506 (28 September 1935)). British editors said squarely then and there:
Fritz Haber
, Albert Einstein
, Lise Meitner
, Max Planck
and Max von Laue
would write, with others, with respect and objective friendliness on Arnold Berliner 70th birth date while still heading Naturwissenschaften in 1933, (See references).
Arnold Berliner committed suicide the day before an evacuation order (meaning deportation to an extermination camp) became effective.
