Your support is equally crucial as Albert Einstein's!
In May 1943, on the 400th Anniversary of the death of Nicholas Copernicus, the Kosciuszko Foundation held a series of lectures and commemorative programs, including one at Carnegie Hall, at which Albert Einstein was the principal speaker. After a further introduction to the KF' mission, Albert Einstein acknowledged the organization and its founder, Stephan Mizwa as a crucial benefactor and educator of young people.
