Einstein as a Victim of Bias

The Fascist National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party, led by Adolf Hitler, took power in Germany on January 30, 1933. That year, Nazis searched Einstein's old home, confiscated his belongings, and burned books that he had written. His photograph was posted in the official "Enemies of the State" book, with the caption reading, "Not yet hanged."
