Kaufmann was raised a Lutheran.[4] At age 11, finding that he believed neither in the Trinity nor in the divinity of Jesus, he converted to Judaism.[4] Kaufmann subsequently discovered that his grandparents were all Jewish.[4] In 1939 Kaufmann emigrated to the United States and began studying at Williams College.[2][4] Stanley Corngold records that there he "abandoned his commitment to Jewish ritual while developing a deeply critical attitude toward all established religions."[2] Kaufmann graduated from Williams College in 1941, then went to Harvard University, receiving an MA degree in Philosophy in 1942.[3] His studies were, however, interrupted by the war.[5] He enlisted with the US Army Air Force and would go on to serve as an interrogator for the Military Intelligence Service in Germany.[2]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2798.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2798.txt
