Who was Arnold Berliner?
Arnold Berliner, German Physicist, graduated in physics from the University of Breslau in 1886. He worked in the research and development laboratories of the Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft.
He was good friend of immunologist Paul Ehrlich and chemist Richard Willstätter.
Around the middle of 1912 he was appointed by the publishing firm Springer Verlag, Berlin as editor of the new scientific magazine Naturwissenschaften, inspired by the prestigious British scientific journal Nature, first published in November 1869. Naturwissenschaften began publication in January 1913.
Arnold Berliner was dismissed on 13 August 1935 from the journal he had founded 22 years earlier because of the racial policies on "non-Aryans" implemented by the Nazi government.
The decision was reported in Nature, which editorialized:
We much regret to learn that on August 13 Dr. Arnold Berliner was removed from the editorship of Die Naturwissenschaften, obviously in consequence of non-Aryan policy. This well-known scientific weekly, which in its aims and features has much in common with NATURE, was founded twenty-three years ago by Dr.
