“Einstein had been nominated for the Nobel Prize in ten of the previous twelve years (1909-1920), yet it wasn’t until he had been hailed as a world-renowned celebrity that the Nobel committee agreed to award him their prize. Years later, Irving Wallace, the author of The Prize, interviewed Sven Hedin, one of the Nobel judges, who acknowledged that anti-Semitism had influenced the judges to vote repeatedly against an award for Einstein (Wallace, The Writing of One Novel). Hedin later publicly supported the Nazis and was a friend of Goring, Himmler, and Hitler.”
