In 1931, Albert Einstein and W.E.B. DuBois wrote to each other in German; DuBois asked Einstein to write an article for THE CRISIS.
DuBois translated it and wrote as intro:
"He is a brilliant advocate of disarmament and world Peace and he hates race prejudice because as a Jew he knows what it is."
The Lathe of Heaven is a good book for us all to be reading right now.
