You are offerding on an original letter from Albert Einstein to Mr. Shepard Rifkin. Written in 1948 it cautions that any catastrophe befalling the fledgling nation of Israel will come from the actions of either its creators (Britain) or its citizens. Coincidentally the letter was written the morning after the Israelis carried out an unprovoked massacre of Palestinian civilians in the village of Deir Yassin.
If the headlines from 1948 (the Deir Yassin massacre) to the present day (continued illegal settlements by Netanyahu encroaching on the lands of the Palestinians) are any measure of a man\'s intellect...one must label Einstein a genius. Israel is indeed its own worst enemy, and here is the prescient pronouncement of it signed by a man of brilliance.
This lot includes the original Sotheby\'s folder, the letter from Einstein to Rifkin (typed on Einstein\'s embossed stationery), an original letter from Rifkin (former Exec Director of the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel) to the current head of the \"Fighters for the Freedom of Israel\", and a copy of the local newspaper article regarding the purchase of the letter from Sotheby\'s.
I am also including a copy of the June 2007 Sotheby\'s catalog through which we purchased the letter initially.
Smudges on the Sotheby\'s folder are blobs of original sealing wax from the initial sale.
