A handwritten letter by Albert Einstein on religion, his Jewish identity and his search for meaning in life has been sold at an auction for nearly $3 million, more than seven times the amount from a decade ago, JTA reported on Wednesday.
Einstein wrote what was dubbed “The God Letter” to philosopher Eric Gutkind, in 1954. It sold Tuesday at Christie’s for $2,892,500, nearly doubling the estimated sale price, according to the report.
