Albert Einstein - Relativity - First edition in Yiddish. Warsaw, 1923
ספעציעלע און אלגעמיינע רעליאסטיוויטעטס - טעאריע - 'special relativity and general relativity, ' - first edition in Yiddish of Albert Einstein's icon book "Theory of Relativity", translation: K. Gutenbaum. Published by A. Gitlin, Warsaw 1923.
The relativity that includes the two physical theories — special relativity and general relativity — developed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century changed the human worldview regarding the basic concepts of physics — time, space, mass, and energy. Since its publication it has been translated into several languages, even earlier, and only in 1923 was it first translated into Yiddish, about a year after Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics. The source used to translate this edition is the 1920 Braunschweig edition.
