Although Albert was a German citizen, he
spent less and less time there. He was deeply
worried by the anti-Semitism, or hatred of
Jews, that was being stirred up by Hitler. He
had built a house in the quiet German village
of Caputh in 1929, but between his travels
and his work at other universities, he wasn’t
there much. By 1931, two of his positions meant
he had to be either in Pasadena, California or
Oxford, England.
In 1932, Albert met a man named Abraham
Flexner, who informed him about a new
Albert’s summer house
in the German village
of Caputh, 2005.
