Richard Hatch ’77 featured by New York Times for historical preservation work on ‘Jews in magic’
Hatch studied physics at Carleton.
Richard Hatch ’77 was featured by The New York Times in a piece titled, “How a 1933 Book About Jews in Magic Was Rescued From Oblivion.” Hatch, the piece reads, gave up a career as a physicist to become a magician — and a one-man historical preservation society dedicated to a German author killed in the Holocaust.
