Bergman, Samuel Hugo, 1883-1975
Variant namesBergman was a philosopher from Prague; he had been a member of the Prague Zionist student group Bar Kochba and was a friend of Martin Buber. From 1907 to 1919 he was a librarian at the Prague University library, except for the period when he served in the Austrian army during World War I; in 1920 Bergman emigrated to Palestine. (In publications in this period until his emigration, his name is typically given as "Hugo Bergmann"; in general his last name is often spelled "Bergmann.") In 1925, Bergman became the first director of the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem, a post he held until 1935. He also taught philosophy at Hebrew University beginning in 1928, becoming a professor there in 1935; he served as the first rector of the university from 1935 to 1938.
