1933 Emigration to the U.S:

In February 1933 while on a visit to the United States, Einstein knew he could not return to Germany

with the rise of power of the Nazis under Germany's new leader, Adolf Hitler. While at American

universities in early 1933, he undertook his third two month visiting professorship at the California

Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He and his wife Elsa returned to Belgium by ship in March, and

during the trip they learned that their home destroyed by the Nazis and his personal ship

confiscated. beginning with the landing in Antwerp on 28 March, he immediately went to the

German consulate and surrendered his passport, formally giving up his German citizenship. The Nazis

later sold his boat and converted his cottage into a Hitler Youth camp.

Coming to America:

In December 1932 Einstein decided to leave Germany forever (he would never go back). It became

obvious to Einstein that his life was in danger. A Nazi organization published a magazine with

Einstein’s picture and the caption “Not Yet Hanged” on the cover, because he was Jewish. There was

even a price on his head.

not knowing a word in English, she was scared and confused because of the American

people and their culture.

always talk to my mom and my grandma about it. It was because I cried every day. I didn't

understand the culture. I didn't understand the people. I didn't understand the language. My

first sentence of my essay to get into college was like, 'Imagine being blind and deaf at age

seven.' And that's kind of what it felt like moving to the States."
