Dr. David Kranzler was born in Germany. To avoid imminent danger from the Nazis, his family left for the United States. He is living in New York since his childhood. He studied for BA and MA at Brooklyn College, for M.L.S. degree at Columbia University, and for his doctorate at Yeshiva University. He is a leading historian on the subject of rescue by Jews during the Holocaust, a field which his works founded. Until retirement he was a Professor at the City University of New York (CUNY).

Dr. Kranzler has been researching the subject of rescue by Jews for about 35 years. He published ten books and many articles on the subject, and has lectured in America, Israel, Europe and the Far East on the subject. For his research, he interviewed over a thousand people, including some of the major Jewish rescuers such as Hillel Kook, George Mantello, Rabbi Solomon Schonfeld and close family and associates of rescuers no longer alive. In addition, he has one of the largest and unique research archives, including audio interviews with some of the major Holocaust rescuers, on this topic.^{[citation needed]}
