Title:
Letter of support for the YIVO Institute by Albert Einstein, Berlin
Description:
In his letter of support for YIVO, Einstein wrote in German [presented here in translation]: "But men do not live by bread alone and Jews certainly do not. When there gathered in the Yiddish Scientifc Institute a handful of men 'Chosen of Spirit', in order to preserve and, as far as possible, to advance the spiritual and moral traditions of the Jewish People, the task merits the sympathy and active help of all those who are in a position to give them. The names of the responsible persons guarantee the proper employment of the resources placed at their disposal. With highest respects, Albert Einstein." German and English.
