Bruno Cassirer (Publishers) Ltd.

Bruno Cassirer founded the Brunos Cassirer Publ. Ltd. in London in 1939. During the preparations for his new publishing house, Bruno Cassirer died. His wife Else and his son-in-law George Hill continued the business.

Bruno gained experience in the publishing business back in 1898, when he and his cousin Paul Cassirer founded the Verlagsbuchhandlung Bruno & Paul Cassirer. But already in 1901 they closed it and Bruno established the Bruno Cassirer Verlag on his own. After the Machtergreifung in 1933, he suffered from backlashes. Shortly after the Reichskristallnacht, he immigrated to England with his family.
