Based on a selection of fascinating documents and photographs from his personal papers, it provides a kaleidoscope - a looking-glass - through which to perceive this great scientist, humanist and Jew. Many items are published here for the first time. Einstein's papers reflect the complexity of his character and the exceptional quality of his genius. The repository of these papers is the Albert Einstein Archives, housed at The Jewish National & University Library at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Einstein was one of the founders of The Hebrew University. His special relationship to this institution found a lasting expression in the bequest of his literary estate and personal papers to the university in his Last Will and Testament.
