The scientist invented the theory of relativity written in the letter: "The resilience of the Jews has been known for thousands of years. The Jews have overcome difficulties because of the tradition of solidarity, mutual affection ".

" These difficult times are the time to challenge our spirit of solidarity and mutual help. But it is certain that we will overcome as well as our father did. " words in the letter.
