Mere Weeks After Hitler's Rise to Power, Einstein Speaks on the Growing Global Chaos and Threat to Minorities: ?The main thing is that minority groups should be allowed security in the community.? (A very rare hand-annotated interview given in the US at the beginning of the darkness for him, his friends, his country, and the Jewish community, expressing his candid thoughts on racism, the advocacy press in forming public opinion, human nature, and establishing and enforcing peace)

He revises the typescript of his interview with the War Resisters League, of which he was Honorary Chairman, and calls out William Randolph Hearst and the head of the press and film empire in Germany, who aided Hitler?s rise?On philosophy: ?The intellect without the emotions is insignificant?; On racism: ?The main thing is that minority groups should be allowed security in the community.? They ought to be ?accepted with friendliness as equal members??On the press: He criticizes William Randolph Heart by name, but says ?The freedom of the press is necessary, despite all the dangers or abuse that come with it..?On pacifism and peace keeping: ?A pacifist is one who believes in his heart that to go to war is beneath the dignity of a human being?, ?Society needs some form of organization, for security and protection in international life?, and ?An international police force?is almost absolutely necessary as one step toward achieving peace. Force, when used by an impartial third party to achieve law and order, it's not contrary to pacifism.?This document has never previously been offered for sale and was acquired by us from the family that has had it all this timeEinstein was well known as a pacifist until Hitler?s rise to power. In 1930, on his second visit to America, he joined the War Resisters League and accepted the office of Honorary Chairman. Einstein spoke to the organization that year, saying, ?True pacifists must publicly declare in time of peace that they will not take up arms under any circumstances? even if only 2% of those assigned to perform military service should announce their refusal to fight, governments would be powerless, they would not dare send such a large number of people to jail.? The league then issued a pamphlet, ?Einstein on War Resistance,? that was widely read and discussed.Meanwhile, back in Germany, the rising Nazi movement found a convenient target in Einstein and relativity, branding the latter ?Jewish physics? and sponsoring conferences and book burnings to denounce Einstein and his theories. The Nazis even enlisted other physicists to denounce Einstein; ?One Hundred Authors Against Einstein? was published in 1931. When asked to comment on this denunciation of relativity by so many scientists, Einstein replied that to defeat relativity one did not need the word of 100 scientists, just one fact.In December 1932 Einstein decided to leave Germany. The reason: it became obvious to him that his life was in danger. A Nazi organization published a magazine with Einstein?s picture and the caption ?Not Yet Hanged? on the cover. There was even a price on his head. In January 1933, Einstein came to the United States to serve at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California as a visiting professor. The appointment of Adolf Hitler as chancellor took effect late that month, and Einstein decided he would not return to his home in Germany where he had been a professor at the Berlin Academy of Sciences. He would instead return to Europe and assess the situation from there. He and his wife Elsa returned by ship to Belgium in March 1933 to find that that their residences in Germany had been raided numerous times. Einstein accepted the fact that he could not return to Germany and turned in his passport to the German consulate; he also formally renounced his German citizenship. By the summer, Einstein learned that his name was on a list of assassination targets. He resided in Belgium for some months and then moved to England for a short period. On October 17, 1933, he returned to the US and took up a position at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton in New Jersey. And there he remained until his death.On February 15, 1933, after Hitler had taken power but before Einstein learned that his homes had been raided, he granted an interview to the War Resisters League at the home of one of its officials, John Dorland. Dorland wanted the interview to be read aloud at the upcoming March 2 meeting of.…
