EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Typed letter signed ('A. Einstein') to Otto Juliusburger, Princeton, 14 October 1941.
EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Typed letter signed ('A. Einstein') to Otto Juliusburger, Princeton, 14 October 1941. In German, one page, 158 x 214mm. Einstein arranges to meet one of his closest friends, a German Jewish psychiatrist freshly arrived in New York after a remarkably delayed escape from Nazi Germany. Einstein is coming to New York City, and proposes meeting Juliusburger and his wife that weekend: they should make the arrangements by telephone with their mutual friend [Gustav] Bucky. Juliusburger and his wife had emigrated to New York only a few months previously, after a remarkably delayed departure from the dangers of Nazi Germany, and the meeting Einstein proposes here would have been one of the first between the old friends since Einstein's own forced exile from Germany almost ten years earlier.
