Albert Einstein Becomes A United States Citizen

While celebrated by the scientific world, famed physicist Albert Einstein faced potential prosecution from the Nazis as someone of Jewish heritage. Thus, he was forced to make a new home in another land in the ’30s. His sights landed on the United States.
Fortunately, Einstein’s plans panned out and he eventually gained American citizenship. Here he is being sworn in at a New Jersey courthouse alongside his daughter (pictured right) and secretary in 1940. He spent the rest of his life in the United States, particularly in Princeton and the prestigious, eponymous university that is situated in the town.
