Arnold Kramish

Arnold Kramish (June 6, 1923 – June 15, 2010) was an American nuclear physicist and author who was associated with the Manhattan Project. While working on the project, he was nearly killed in an accident at the Philadelphia Naval Yard where a prototype thermal diffusion isotope separation device was being constructed. The priest of the Philadelphia Naval Yard offered last rites to Kramish, who refused, as he was Jewish. After World War II, he wrote numerous books on nuclear issues. He is perhaps best known for his book ''The Griffin - the greatest untold espionage story of World War II'', about Paul Rosbaud, who passed important scientific and military information from Germany to the Allies through Frank Foley who, as MI6 station chief in Berlin, had recruited Rosbaud as ''Der Greif'', Agent Griffin.
