On August 2, 1939, Albert Einstein addressed a letter to “F.D. Roosevelt, President of the United States” warning him about the progress Nazi Germany was making in nuclear physics and that their successful experiments with uranium could lead to the development of an atomic bomb. By coincidence, as I write this, this letter is up for auction at Christie’s with a minimum bid of $4 million.
Nine years later, along with other prominent Jewish leaders including Hannah Arendt, Einstein submitted another letter of warning, this one to the public and which appeared in the New York Times on December 2, 1948.
The letter described what the signatories said was “among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times”, the rise of extremist political groups in Israel which they described as “terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist.” The letter specifically pointed out one of their leaders Menachem Begin and detailed the massacre of 240 Palestinian civilians in the village of Deir Yassin which it said “most of the Jewish community was horrified (by)”.
Einstein’s second letter of warning has been largely ignored by history. Also ignored is the reality that one U.S. President and his Attorney General were aware of the risks extremism in Israel posed to both peace and stability in the Middle East and the integrity of the political system of the United States and in the summer of 1963 were taking forceful steps to confront these forces.
