Notes

  1. Einstein acquired Swiss citizenship in 1901 and held it for the rest of his life. A German until shortly before emigrating to the United States and becoming affiliated with Princeton University's Institute for Advanced Study in 1933, he surrendered his passport and formally renounced his German citizenship on March 28 of that year, in response to Adolf Hitler's rise to power.[5] In 1935, he decided to remain in the U.S. permanently and became an American citizen in 1940.
