The claim that Albert Einstein is a Polish Jew and the demand that he be expelled from Germany, are put forward by “Der Hammer” the anti-Semitic periodical published in Leipzig by Thcodor Fritsch, one of the members of the anti-Semitic International.
“The Polish Jew, Albert Einstein, ought to be deported to where he came from,” writes “Der Hammer.”
“Where the ‘Hammer’ has it from that Albert Einstein, who comes from South Germany, has anything to do with Poland, is a mystery,” comments the “Welt am Montag”, here in quoting the article from “Der Hammer” “Does it not know that the whole of the scienticfic world honors Albert Einstein as the greatest luminary of German science?” the paper asks.
