letter that Albert Einstein addressed to the first Israeli president Chaim Weizmann a few days after Israel's declaration of Independence in 1948 is on sale for $90,000.
In the letter, the Nobel Prize recipient expressed mistrust of the world leaders' attitude towards the newly-founded Jewish state.
"One still cannot say that the powerful men of this earth mean well with us. The game the English play with us is miserable, and the American attitude appears ambivalent. However, I am confident that our people will overcome this last scare and that you will live to experience the satisfaction of having created a happy Jewish community,” Einstein wrote according to a statement by the Raab Collection, an American firm that describes itself as “the nation's leading dealer in important historical documents.”
