Albert Einstein was in the United States on a lecture tour when Hitler came to power. His friends knew he would not be allowed to continue his work in Germany — and they urged him not to return there. Einstein became a special hate of the Nazis. He decided to remain in America and accepted a position with the Institute for advanced study of Princeton, NJ. In 1940 Einstein became an American citizen. Einstein never dreamed that his formula published in 1905 would some day be applied to the making of the atomic bomb. In late 1930’s scientists learned that the Nazis were working all-out to develop such a bomb. These scientists appealed to Einstein. They urged him to write to President Roosevelt asking him to set up a great secret project to work on the atomic bomb.
