EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955) and Elsa (1876-1936). Autograph note signed (“A. Einstein”) to Dr. and Mrs. Epstein, Caputh bei Potsdam, 15 September 1932. In German. 142 x 92 mm, on a postcard. Dating from the Einstein's final days in Germany, a grim reminder of the coming storm . The postcard depicts two towering war memorials in Berlin, near the Einsteins’ summer house in Caputh. To his wife’s pleasantries, Albert cannot resist the temptation to add a jocular rhyming couplet on the front of the card: “What’s a crying shame? For a Pacifist to send such a card!” The summer of 1932 was Einstein’s last in Germany; on 28 March 1933 he renounced his citizenship and sought asylum in the United States. Not published in the Einstein Archives .
