In December 1932, Albert Einstein and his wife visited the United State had secured a
position at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. At that time, Adolf Hitler roles the
power and try to kill the Jewish people in Europe because he thought the Aryan people is the best
in the world and he wanted to create a Germany country with only Aryan people with blue or
green eyes, tall and with blonde hair. He started to kill Jewish people and his first target was
Einstein with his clever head especially when Einstein came to Europe in 1933.
Being himself a German Jew, Einstein cultivated an outspoken political personality and
was well known for his pacifist ideals. His work, paired with his political personal triggered
negative attention from extreme right-wing groups. Anti-Semites were determined to publicize
his discoveries as “un-German”. The rise of the Nazi party made it more and more difficult for
Einstein to work in Germany, so in 1932 when offered a position at Princeton University, he
accepted, retaining dual U.S. and Swiss citizenship.
Albert Einstein fear of his life when the Nazi Germany burned all his book and properties
in Berlin. After came back, Einstein and his wife Elsa were helped others refugees lost their
home because of Nazi Germany. Hitler was really angry because he can’t kill Einstein and let
Einstein helped others refugees. Einstein was really angry at Hitler because Hitler is the reason
why six million Jewish people and 27 million Soviet people.
While his theories were still widely taught, he was ultimately accused of treason in 1933
by the Nazi Third Reich; winning the party a partial victory when Einstein’s name could no
longer be mentioned in academic circles. Although Einstein was not in Germany at the time,
Nazi fanatics still had his property seized and his books were among those burned on the famous
May 10, 1933, as a symbol of purging an “un-German” spirit.
