Abstract
The words above appeared in a form letter authored by the Nobel Laureate near the end of 1946. Written under the letterhead of the Emergency Committee
of Atomic Scientists (ECAS), an organization which he co-founded, Professor Einstein made an appeal to raise money to fund a “great educational task” to “carry to our fellow citizens an understanding of the simple facts of atomic energy and its implications for society” (Einstein 1946). The aims of ECAS were “to educate the public about the dangers of atomic warfare, to promote the benign use of atomic energy, and to work for the abolition of war as the only answer to weapons of mass destruction” (Peace Pledge Union 2010).
