DER SPIEGEL – A special memorial sheet dedicated to the figure of the great scientist Albert Einstein, was published a few days after his death. Hamburg, April 27, 1955.
In the issue, rare photographs from various stages in the life of the renowned scientist from his childhood to the end of his life, as well as extensive articles about Einstein’s character, his contribution and historical achievements in science, comparing his scientific contribution to great scientists such as Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, and Leibniz.
On the cover of the issue is a large photograph of Einstein and the famous saying that Einstein coined: GOT WURFELT NICHT – “God does not play dice”. Some historians claim that the issue before us is a kind of Repentance on the Nazi Germany’s persecution of Einstein, and the fact that he never returned to it, as it was the first time the German press had sympathetically covered his figure.
