Sir John Charles Burgh, KCMG (9 December 1925 - 12 April 2013) was an Austrian-born refugee who became a senior member of the British Civil Service as Director-General of the British Council (1980-1987). He later served as President of Trinity College, Oxford (1987-1996).
==Early life==
Burgh was born Karl Hans Schweinburg on 9 December 1925 in Vienna, Austria. His parents were Jewish who had converted to Roman Catholicism. His father, who had practised as a barrister, died in 1937. His mother had he and his sister Lucy baptised in the Church of England. From his family’s flat that overlooked Vienna’s Ringstrasse, Burgh saw Adolf Hitler touring the city following the 1938 Anschluss that annexed Austria into Nazi Germany.〔
With the help of Quakers, Burgh and his sister moved to Britain in late 1938. Their mother followed on six months later.〔 He was educated at the Quaker Sibford School in Sibford Ferris, Oxfordshire.〔 During his time at school, he became fluent in English and did well in his exams.〔 However, his mother could not afford the fees for him to remain beyond 15 years old and so he left in 1941. He then began work in an aircraft factory,〔 which he continued until the end of World War II.〔
In 1946, he gained a place at the London School of Economics on an evening course.〔 He studied economics under Harold Laski who would help him win a bursary so that he could continue his studies full-time the following year.〔 In 1949, he was elected General Secretary of LSE Students' Union.〔 He graduated with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Government in 1950.
