EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Autograph letter signed ('Papa') to his son Eduard ('Lieber Tetel'), Cromer, [Norfolk], n.d. [after 9 September 1933], in pencil, 2 pages, 4° (slight loss of legibility along fold on verso).

A savage criticism of Nazism written from exile in England: reported threats of assassination have driven him out of Belgium to England where he is living in a tiny cottage on the Norfolk coast; his ship for America leaves in a fortnight--'That an old fellow like me should have no peace! ... It is really none other than a revolution of the stupid against the rational in Germany. One sees that the stupid form a sizeable majority'.

Einstein was in America when the Nazis seized power in Germany; on 1 April 1933 he was declared a public enemy, and his possessions confiscated, in his absence. He never returned to Germany.
