Eugene D. Bronstein, former graduate student here, was killed in an air raid near Brunetta while fighting with the Spanish Loyalist forces last July, it was revealed recently.
Other graduates serving with the leftists in Spain are: Griffin B. Washburn '35, Joseph Seigal '38, Saul Friedberg, who graduated from the Law School in 1936, and Milton Weiner of the graduate school.
At the time of his death Bronstein was serving as political commissar in the George Washington Battalion. He was twenty-five years old.
As a student in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1934-35, Bronstein was one of the founders of the Harvard Communist. A member of the Rubber Workers Union in Massachusetts, he was identified with the labor movement here before he left for Spain in 1937.
