Richard Grunberger (7 March 1924 Vienna, Austria – 15 February 2005) was a British historian who specialised in study of the Third Reich.
After this he lived with a Jewish family, who were West End tailors in London, and later was interned on the Isle of Mann.
[2] When he went to the Wiener Library in London, he expressed to a friend his frustration at the absence of a book that held together the masses of documentation surrounding Nazism and 20th-century Germany.
It has since become a significant text for studying the social history of Nazi Germany in schools and at undergraduate level.
[2] Initially, much of Grunberger's leisure time in Britain was taken up by the communist youth group Young Austria, which functioned as a substitute family for him.
