Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Dave Does History, we explore Albert Einstein's dramatic escape from Nazi Germany on October 17, 1933. As one of the world’s most famous scientists, Einstein found himself a target of Nazi persecution due to his Jewish heritage and outspoken opposition to Hitler’s regime. We discuss his rise to prominence in Germany, his conflicts with the Nazi leadership, and the dangerous journey that led him to seek refuge in the United States. We also dive into the global reaction to his defection and foreshadow Einstein's critical role in the war effort against Nazi Germany. Tune in to hear how Einstein’s intellect and courage shaped history and left a lasting legacy.
