Einstein as a Victim of Bias
The Fascist National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party, led by Adolf Hitler, took power in Germany on January 30, 1933. That year, Nazis searched Einstein's old home, confiscated his belongings, and burned books that he had written. His photograph was posted in the official "Enemies of the State" book, with the caption reading, "Not yet hanged."

To Be a Jew
To be a Jew...means, first of all, to acknowledge and follow in practice those fundamentals in humaneness laid down in the Bible -- fundamentals without which no sound and happy community can exist.
from a speech given in NYC in 1938, as cited by Devra Newberger Speregen in
Albert Einstein: The Jewish Man Behind the Theory
The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of justice, and the desire for personal independence - these are the features of the Jewish tradition which make me thank my lucky stars that I belong to.
1934, as cited by Devra Newberger Speregen in
Albert Einstein: The Jewish Man Behind the Theory
Whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through us. We can not stand aside and let God do it.
