Original footage ... thanks to the efforts of the whole community *) it was finally possible to "decipher" what Einstein is saying: "Now I will add a few words unprepared. [laughter] A country becomes really a soul only in consciously serving the intellectual life, and in the case of our Jewish people it was really this endeavour, which conserved the Jewish people as a whole. We would not be in existence today, as a community of people, without this continued, or discontinued ... ehh ... activity into learning and in thought and in literature." The occasion of this speech is still unknown, though. *) Thanks to rubyslippez, ElmaFudd2 and especially RuniToconillo.

Thank you for posting this video! But I don't believe Einstein is saying "this continued, or discontinued"; he is saying "this continued, uh, this continued". "This" sounds like "dis" because of his accent. Your interpretation does not make as much sense. Why would "activity into learning . . ." be "discontinued"? It's a stretch of the imagination to say this is sensical. Also, why would someone simultaneously describe a noun with two words that mean the opposite? He wasn't being ironical.

You type a lot of shit huh? Hilbert and Einstein not only were friends who worked on relativity together but, Hilbert is on record stating that the equations were in fact developed by Einstein. Stop using wikipedia.

Anyone who thinks Einstein was a genius is either: hoodwinked, bigoted or a plain idiot. However I cannot wholly blame Plain Joe for having misconceptions of the man - after all, how is he supposed to know of the way Einstein ripped off other people's ideas and claimed them to be his own when his coterie of sycophantic lobbyists (both academic and non-academic)have cleverly raised him to the status of deity? Luckily there are now incontrovertible proofs showing the man WAS a con. And how.

Einstein was the greatest plagiarist of the 20th century. He was in fact mathematically INCOMPETENT. For example, he never derived the field equations of general relativity. They were first derived by the German mathematician David Hilbert -Einstein merely stole them and then claimed priority for the work. Special Relativity? He didn't add a single original idea to the theory- it had all been done by others (eg Poincare) before him. It's time to shatter the obnoxious MYTH of Saint Einstein.

American schools teach that Einstein created the Atomic Bomb... or something along those lines...
