A young adult biography that focuses on Einstein as a great Jewish
thinker and champion of Israel In 2005, the world celebrated Albert
Einstein's annus mirabile, the miraculous year. It was the 100th
anniversary of the publication of his five pioneering papers that
led to revolutionary changes in our understanding of the properties
of space and time. The anniversary of the Einstein's Theory of
Relativity and the publication of his famous formula, e=mc2,
presents JPS with an opportunity to educate a new generation of
young readers about Einstein's importance as a scientist and, more
specifically, as a Jew. Speregen fully explores the fascinating
story of Albert Einstein's connection to his Jewish roots and the
growth of his commitment to the creation of the State of Israel.
She describes Einstein's difficult early years as a student in
Germany's repressive school system and details his struggle to
respond to his stubborn questioning nature and relentless personal
search for answers to some of the great questions of the universe.
The author discusses how Einstein's ties to his people grew as he
witnessed the rise of anti-Semitism in the early 1900s and his
relentless efforts to raise money and public awareness to promote
the creation of the State of Israel. (In fact, he was even offered
the presidency of Israel after the death of Chaim Weizman.)
Speregen presents an intriguing picture of the seemingly ordinary
man who was to become one of the world's most recognized and
respected thinkers.
