EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Autograph letter signed (“A. Einstein”) to Paul Epstein, Princeton, 22 October 1936. In German. one page, 173 x 142mm, on Institute for Advanced Study letterhead. "A rare man of character, for a German!" Einstein’s approval of Martin Stobbe, a young non-Jewish German physicist who had refused to take over Max Born’s professorship at the University of Göttingen following the latter’s suspension by the Nazis in 1933. Einstein thanks Epstein for having written to the "committee"—likely the New York City-based Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced German Scholars—on Stobbe’s behalf. Both physicists had been desperately trying to find their colleague a permanent position in the United States, but their efforts ultimately failed and Stobbe returned to Europe, disappearing during the Nazi occupation of Norway.
