Max Born was a German-born physicist who was instrumental in the development of quantum mechanics. Working in the area of relativity, Born developed a personal friendship with Albert Einstein, who would frequently visit his home in Berlin. Of Jewish descent, Born migrated to Great Britain after losing his professorship in Germany under Nazi rule, eventually becoming a British subject. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in quantum mechanics. He later retired to Bad Pyrmont, West Germany, where this letter was written, later in his life.
