Eric Craig Speaks from Einstein on Race and Racism

There was just no racism about him. He came from that kind of situation, with what happened in Germany. I remember thinking that he must have experienced a terrible kind of race hatred against the Jews in Germany that made him more race conscious than most white folks in Princeton. We were actually thrilled when we saw him because our parents had told us this was somebody important. He'd walk down Witherspoon Street mostly every day -- as children we would run out -- our parents told us he was famous. He'd always spend time -- that was back in 1942, '43 and '44.
