Franklin D. Roosevelt D-Day Prayer Broadside — One of a Select Few Given to Roosevelt’s Staff at Christmas in 1944
Beautiful presentation broadside of the “D-Day Prayer”, one of the few copies gifted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to his staff at Christmas 1944. This particular copy was given to one of his Secret Service agents (and then by descent to consignor), and comes with a 1944 Christmas card from the Roosevelts. Lithograph features gilt and colored embellishments, transcribing the famous prayer that President Roosevelt delivered to the nation via radio on 6 June 1944 after the successful D-Day invasion, reading in part, “Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our Allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far. / And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer…Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph…Christmas-1944-from / F.D.R.” Lithograph measures 14.75″ x 21.75″, framed with the Roosevelt Christmas card, and a ribbon at bottom right, to a size of 15.5″ x 21.75″. Not examined out of frame, but appears in very good to near fine condition with only light toning. Sold for $3,800.
Albert Einstein typed letter signed during World War II, with moving content regarding helping Jewish refugees. Dated 10 June 1939 on his personal embossed letterhead from Princeton, Einstein writes to E.J. Brown of the famed Arnold Constable & Co. department store, who worked on ”behalf of the refugees during Dedication Week.” Einstein continues, ”…The power of resistance which has enabled the Jewish people to survive for thousands of years has been based to a large extent on traditions of mutual helpfulness. In these years of affliction our readiness to help one another is being put to an especially severe test. May we stand this test as well as did our fathers before us.
We have no other means of self-defense than our solidarity and our knowledge that the cause for which we are suffering is a momentous and sacred cause.
It must be a source of deep gratification to you to be making so important a contribution toward rescuing our persecuted fellow-Jews from their calamitous peril and leading them toward a better future…[signed] A. Einstein”.
