Albert Einstein looks pensively to the side, his face slightly lowered, wearing an open shirt without a tie, outside his house in Princeton. Such quiet portrait moments were captured around the filming related to the Einstein-Szilard letter in the summer of 1939, when Einstein, together with Leo Szilard, prepared the warning to President Franklin D. Roosevelt about the military use of nuclear fission. A few weeks later, in September 1939, the German invasion of Poland began the Second World War, during which the United States launched the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb.
