Inside Albert Einstein’s life in Norfolk after escaping Nazi Germany and why he was excluded from building atom bomb
WITH a bounty on his head and Adolf Hitler’s assassins on his trail, Albert Einstein knew he was no longer safe in mainland Europe.
All of the brilliant German scientist’s possessions were confiscated by the Nazis in 1933 and one of his fellow Jews had been killed in Belgium, where Einstein was taking refuge.

There seemed to be no hiding place — until an English MP suggested a safe haven where few were likely to look for him.
Einstein was smuggled by boat to Dover and driven to a remote wooden cabin near Cromer, in Norfolk.
There the man considered to be the greatest scientist of all time was protected by two armed assistants.
That little-known moment in the physicist’s life is recounted in Netflix documentary Einstein And The Bomb.
It looks at how one of history’s most famous pacifists ended up encouraging the United States to build an atomic

In autumn 1933, Albert Einstein found himself living alone in an isolated holiday hut in rural England. There, he toiled peacefully at mathematics while occasionally stepping out for walks or to play his violin. But how had Einstein come to abandon his Berlin home and go “on the run”?
Andrew Robinson’s Einstein on the Run is the first account of the role Britain played in Einstein’s life—first by inspiring his teenage passion for physics, then by providing refuge from the Nazis.

A hermit life in Norfolk
‘L.L. is wonderful and keeps everything away,’ Einstein wrote to his wife in Le Coq. ‘I live here like a hermit, only I do not need to eat roots and herbs.’ To his son, Eduard, he described his ‘admirable solitude’. As he had hoped back in Belgium, he was now able to spend most of his three or so weeks in Norfolk doing mathematical calculations alone in his hut, and sometimes playing music on a grand piano in another hut or on hi
