Letters in which Albert Einstein (pictured) wrote of Adolf Hitler's 'insanity' and the persecution of the Jews have emerged
Never-seen-before letters in which Albert Einstein wrote of Adolf Hitler's 'insanity' and the persecution of the Jews have emerged for sale in Los Angeles for an astounding $40,000 (£30,000).
The Jewish mathematician was forced to flee his native Germany for America after receiving heavy handed treatment from the Nazi regime upon Hitler's ascent to power in 1933.
Einstein's cottage was raided and turned it into a Hitler Youth camp, his sailing boat was confiscated, his books were burnt, and he was also prevented from working after the Nazis banned Jews from teaching at universities.
In a letter penned to his first wife Mileva on April 17, 1934, the physicist wrote of how the financial woes inflicted on him made it difficult for him to support his son Eduard's ongoing treatment for schizophrenia.
'The Hitler insanity has completely ruined the lives of all those around me,' he wrote.

A second letter, dated June 10, 1939, was written by Einstein to his friend Dr Maurice Lenz, a doctor who had helped Jewish refugees.
He wrote that the Jewish people were facing an 'especially severe test' and praised the doctor for his important contribution rescuing 'persecuted Jews from calamitous peril'.
'The power of resistance which has enabled the Jewish people to survive for thousands of years has been based to a large extent on traditions of mutual helpfulness', Einstein explained.
'In these years of affliction our readiness to help one another is being put to an especially severe test. May we stand this test as well as did our fathers before us.'

He continued: 'We have no other means of self-defense than our solidarity and our knowledge that the cause for which we are suffering is a momentous and sacred cause.
'It must be a source of deep gratification to you to be making so important a contribution toward rescuing our persecuted fellow Jews from their calamitous peril and leading them toward a better future.'
The letters have been consigned for sale by a private collector with Los Angeles based auction house Nate D Sanders for $40,000 (£30,000).
A Nate D Sanders spokesperson said: 'The letter to Mileva has extraordinary content both regarding Hitler and also Eduard's illness shortly after his diagnosis.
He wrote that the Jewish people were facing an 'especially severe test' and praised the doctor for his important contribution rescuing 'persecuted Jews from calamitous peril'
'His letter to Dr Maurice Lenz also has moving content regarding helping Jewish refugees.
'In both letters, Einstein remarked about the Nazis and how they've affected the lives of the Jewish people and people he knew personally.
'He wrote about the Jewish people's perseverance over thousands of years, but warned they were facing their toughest test with the Nazi regime.
'Einstein poignantly remarked how many lives around him have been ruined.'
The letter to Minerva, who Einstein was married to from 1903 to 1919, is valued at £19,000, while the letter to Dr Maurice Lenz is expected to fetch £9,000.
The timed auction ends on Thursday.

Never-seen-before letters in which Albert Einstein wrote of Adolf Hitler’s ‘insanity’ and the persecution of the Jews have emerged...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
