Role in rescue of Husserl's nachlass
From Herman Leo Van Breda, "The Rescue of Husserl’s Nachlass and the Founding of the Husserl-Archives"
Not sure how best or whether to integrate this, but he played a role in this important historical event. According to Van Breda
"Viscount J. Berryer was the secretary to the ambassador in Berlin in 1938, in what would prove to be an early stage of a brilliant diplomatic career. In those most memorable circumstances, the warmth of his welcome was exceptional. Even to this day, I am still astonished by the total confidence that he placed in me. The immediate sympathy and energy shown by this refined man, especially at that most serious and decisive time for the fate of the Husserl’s work, undoubtedly deserves special mention. With great attentiveness, he listened to the remarkable story of what had happened to me. He immediately gave his consent for the deposit, the very next day, of the manuscripts at the embassy. Furthermore, he assured me that from that moment on they would be remain safely out of Nazi reach." Jyoshimi (talk) 16:11, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
