In  1933,  while  Einstein  was  visiting  England  and  the  United
                            States,  the  Nazi  government  of  Germany  took  his  property  and
                            deprived him of his positions and his citizenship. Before this Einstein
                            had been inveted to become a member of the staff of the Institute for
                            Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J. Einstein accepted this position for
                            life and settled down in Princeton. In 1940, he became an American
                            citizen.
                                  Einstein  lived  a  quiet  personal  life.  He  was  fond  of  classical
                            music, and played the violin. He supported pacifism.
                                  Einstein  was  married  twice.  He  was  separated  from  his  first
                            wife,  a  physicist  named  Mileva  Maric,  after  his  arrival  in  Berlin.
                            After  World  War  II,  he  married  his  first  cousin,  Elsa.  He  had  two
                            sons and a daughter by his first wife. He gained two stepdaughters in
                            his second marriage.
                                  He died on April 18, 1955.
