- Theodor Herzl
Background
Your recent series of articles about Hans Herzl have moved me greatly. His wasted life constitutes a warning to all Jews against defection from their people. For this reason I consider your book a praiseworthy effort in the interest of the Jewish community. You have my permission to make use of the above comment in any way in which it can gain attention for your book.
The book which Einstein mentioned was written, but many, many years later by Sternberger’s wife, Ilse. Princes Without a Home: Modern Zionism and the Strange Fate of Theodor Herzl’s Children, 1900-45 did, however, carry a blurb from Einstein.

Dear Sir:
Your article about Hans Herzl moved me greatly at the time. His wasted life constitutes a warning to all Jews against defection from their people.For this reason I consider your book a praiseworthy effort in the interest of the Jewish community. In view of my being overly busy, I am not in favor of a personal meeting.
You have my permission to make use of the above comment in any way in which it can gain attention for your book.
Very respectfully yours,
A. Einstein
