It was likely a joyous time for him, not only

because of the warm American reception, but
also because, in 1919, he had married again.

The woman’s name was Elsa Löwenthal, and she
would remain faithfully at his side until her death

in 1936. Albert and Elsa stayed in America for
two months, starting in the northeastern area

and gradually making their way to the Midwest.
During this time, Albert gave lectures at some

of the most respected universities in the country,
including Columbia and Princeton. He was

also invited to the White House to visit
then-president Warren G. Harding.

When Albert visited New York
City in 1921, he was welcomed
by thousands of fans.
