ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879-1955)
Typescript signed (at foot, 'A. Einstein'), 'Broadcast to Britain', 4 December 1940, apparently the reading script, a number of stresses and pronunciation aids added in pencil, apparently in another hand, two words amended in pencil, 2 pages, folio, framed and glazed.
A MOVING STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY WITH BRITAIN UNDER SIEGE. Einstein's broadcast, made from the United States before its entry into the war, sets the struggle against Nazi Germany in the context of the centuries-long 'free development of the human individual', with its beneficial consequences in all fields, but particularly in science -- consequences which are now at risk. 'England fights today for these true goals of human endeavour ... Everyone in American knows that the British people's fight is America's fight'. Einstein also looks beyond the war to a period of international cooperation, 'We must succeed in building so mighty a system of international security as to render impossible any future threat to the rights and freedoms of the nations ... A lively consciousness of this necessity breathes in the speeches of Winston Churchill', before ending with a ringing statement of confidence: 'Your steadfastness will breathe fresh life into the resistance of the conquered nations of Europe ... to all generations to come the consciousness will abide that it was Britain, Britain by her present heroic ordeal, that was the means of saving humanity from slipping back into the darkness of barbarism and slavery'.
