Gunzburg, Ernest M., 1911-1990
Ernest Gunzburg, a German immigrant, rose to prominence for aiding European refugees resettling in the Richmond area during the era of World War II. He later assisted in the founding and management of multiple organizations in Richmond aimed at community engagement and religious cooperation.
Gunzburg was born in the Free City of Danzig on 29 December 1911. He was educated in Mainz, Germany, and immigrated to the United States in 1935. Soon after he arrived in the United States, Gunzburg worked with the National Refugee Service to settle European refugees in Virginia. In 1939 he relocated to Miami, Florida, to take the position of executive director of the Florida Resettlement Committee. After the United States became involved in World War II, Gunzburg enlisted and served as an interpreter with US Army Intelligence with the rank of sergeant. In 1944, Gunzburg received a commendation for acting as an interpreter for a German parachutist group that had surrendered at Normandy, France.
