In case you want to see the two best Albert Einstein items we have sold.  Here they are:

Albert Einstein Letter Signed From 1939 — Defending His Jewish Heritage — ”…The power of resistance which has enabled the Jewish people to survive for thousands of years…”

Fantastic Albert Einstein typed letter signed ”A. Einstein” upon his personal stationery, dated 10 June 1939 from Princeton, New Jersey. While WWII raged in Europe, Einstein writes to a Dr. Epstein, thanking him for the work done on behalf of Jewish refugees. Reads in full: ”My dear doctor Epstein: May I offer my sincere congratulations to you on the splendid work you have undertaken on behalf of the refugees during Dedication Week. The power of resistance which has enabled the Jewish people to survive for thousands of years has been based to a large extent on traditions of mutual helpfulness. In these years of affliction our readiness to help one another is being put to an especially severe test. May we stand this test as well as did our fathers before us. We have no other means of self-defense than our solidarity and our knowledge that the cause for which we are suffering is a momentous and sacred cause. It must be a source of deep gratification to you to be making so important a contribution toward rescuing our persecuted fellow-Jews from their calamitous peril and leading them toward a better future.” Letter on 1pp. measures 8.5” x 11” with expected folds and three small .5” closed tears to left margin, overall very good. Also includes a 1937 typed letter signed from Fiorello LaGuardia to Epstein, discussing his help in unification between the Brooklyn and New York Federations of the Jewish Appeal.  Sold for $13,045.

Haunting Albert Einstein Autograph Letter Signed About Nazi Germany — ”…what is happening in Germany…one will rub one’s eyes and say it all was just an ugly dream…”

Very moving Albert Einstein autograph letter signed from 1933, shortly after he escaped Nazi Germany. Written upon Waldorf Astoria, New York stationery and dated 16 March 1933, Einstein here shows his magnanimity for the German people and how they could fall under the clutches of Nazism. German letter translates in full, ”To the association of German nurses of America, Your telegram from yesterday delighted me extraordinarily, maybe the most because of the great cordiality toward me. You needn’t think that I am personally, or in any way, bitter about what is happening in Germany. Like an individual, a people can lose its nerves; and in the case of the German people it really is comprehensible, considering the grave fates it had to endure. After some time this will be all over. One will rub one’s eyes and say it all was just an ugly dream. Best Wishes / Yours A. Einstein”. Single-page letter measures 8.25” x 10.5”. Toning, creasing and a few small stains to the upper half, else near fine. Handwritten letters by Einstein are extraordinarily rare, even more so with content on Nazi Germany.  Sold for $11,858.
