Biography
Bruno Grunzig was a conscientious objector imprisoned during World War I. Court-martialed for refusing military service, he was held at Fort Douglas(). (Documented in the Swarthmore College Peace Collection's World War I Conscientious Objectors database.) Archival note: Grunzig report: “not interviewed by Bd., but going to Camp Meade on Aug. 11, 1918”; released the same day as David Eichel; his letters were often reports to the NYBLA (Witherspoon & Mygatt were friends of his); a Socialist
Release-date verification: Grunzig's April 30, 1920 postcard states that he was discharged that morning together with Dave Eichel and Shotkin. The existing April 30 release date is therefore retained; the contradictory May 1 date in the sentence text has been corrected.
