He was on the ship in March 1933 intending to return home to Germany when he learned the alarming news that the Nazis had ransacked his summer cottage in Caputh. He soon decided it was too dangerous to return to Germany and when the ship docked in Antwerp Belgium he immediately reported to the German consulate in Brussels where he turned in his German passport and renounced his citizenship. Einstein returned to America in October beginning a new life as a member of the faculty of Princeton University's Institute for Advanced Study. In near fine condition. A complex and desirable association. Albert Einstein developed the general theory of relativity one of the two pillars of modern physics alongside quantum mechanics.
