George van den Bergh

George van den Bergh (25 April 1890 in Oss – 3 October 1966 in Oegstgeest) was a Dutch law professor and amateur astronomer.

His brother Sidney James and his nephew Maarten would follow his father in business life, while George pursued an academic career.

He was author of Aarde en wereld in ruimte en tijd: Een uiteenzetting voor iedereen (1935) which was translated into English in 1937 as The Universe in Space and Time[1] (U.K. edition) and Astronomy for the Millions (U.S. edition).

Etty Hillesum (An Interrupted Life) mentions that he was arrested and detained by the Nazis in 1941.

[3] This was published in 1951 as Regelmaat en wisseling bij zonsverduisteringen, met een aanhangsel over maansverduisteringen and translated into English in 1955 as Periodicity and Variation of Solar (and Lunar) Eclipses.
