Paul Hamlyn, who built his fortune publishing books, established the Paul Hamlyn Foundation in 1987. Born in Berlin in 1926, he was first named Paul Bertrand Wolfgang Hamburger. When Hitler rose to power, he and his family, who were Jewish, fled to London. Hamlyn chose his new surname from the phone book at age 14 following his father’s death in 1940. —[O]
