Paul Gruson

Paul Gruson (24 December 1895 – 1969) was a German sculptor. His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.^[1] Despite his Jewish ancestry, he managed to get the commission to design a monument in honor of the martyrs of the Nazi movement. Once the fact that he was "half-Jew" according to the Nazi racial calculus was discovered, Joseph Goebbels decided to grant him a special dispensation to avoid embarrassment.^[2]
