A stamp bearing the image of Albert Einstein, who was driven from Germany by the Nazis, will be one of a new issue of West German postage stamps in June, the Bonn Post Office announced today.

The first stamp in the new series will bear a portrait of Gotthold Lessing, the poet-playwright who wrote the play “Nathan the Wise” on the theme of the need for tolerance between Christian and Jew.
