He officially changed his name in 1949 to John Ashley Soames Grenville upon receiving British citizenship.
The persecution of the Jews progressed faster than his father had anticipated and his mother died in Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp.

He then took a gardening job in Peterhouse, Cambridge.
He was given access to the library at the college, but only if he promised not to apply there.

He lectured at many universities including the University of California and was known for his affable and good natured personality.
