In subsequent years, additional material was sent from Einstein's Princeton home. President Avraham Harman of The Hebrew University and Milton Handler of the American Friends of The Hebrew University worked on the transfer of the material to Jerusalem. In 1982, the Einstein Estate transferred Einstein's personal papers to the Jewish National & University Library in Jerusalem.
To aid in this work, Einstein's papers were transferred from his Princeton home to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. The material increased from 14,000 documents at the time of Einstein's death in 1955 to around 42,000 documents in 1982. In the 1960s, Helen Dukas and the physicist Gerald Holton of Harvard University in the USA reorganized the archive, with the aim of publishing the material, in a joint project between the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Princeton University Press. That material was transported via Haberlandstrasse where Einstein lived in Berlin, then to Paris, and ended up stored in Princeton, New Jersey, United States until after Einstein's death.Įinstein's 1950 will appointed Helen Dukas and Otto Nathan as trustees of the estate and stated, "ll literary rights and assets shall be vested in the Hebrew University." After Einstein's death in 1955, the trustees spent many years organizing Einstein's papers.
Some of the material at Einstein's summer house in Caputh, Brandenburg was destroyed to avoid seizure, although most of his works between 19 were saved. After the Nazis' rise to power in 1933, Einstein's son-in-law Rudolf Kayser, aided by the French Embassy, rescued Einstein's papers in Berlin. Helen Dukas (1896–1982) began working for Einstein with increased systematization from April 1928, although not all outgoing correspondence was saved. Įinstein did not save all of his written material, but from 1919, as his fame increased, he employed his stepdaughter Ilse as a secretarial assistant. In 1925, the original 46-page manuscript of the general theory of relativity ended up at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. However, Einstein was a member of the university's first board of governors. Menachem Ussishkin, the president of the Zionist Executive, invited Einstein to settle in Jerusalem, but this was the only visit that Einstein actually made to Jerusalem. Īlbert Einstein visited Palestine in 1923 for 12 days, giving the first lecture at the Mount Scopus campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem-two years before the University opened in 1925. First page from the manuscript explaining the theory of general relativity by Albert Einstein (1915–16).
