Albert Einstein Part IV: Not Yet Hanged

This is the fourth in a series of six episodes on the physicist Albert Einstein.  Hitler's rise to power puts Albert Einstein in harms' way as rising antisemitism drives him from his newly acquired house in the outskirts of Berlin.  Rather than using his fame to flee, Einstein regularly speaks out against Nazi rule, eventually resulting in a dossier being published with Albert Einstein listed as the number one target.  Beneath his photo were the words 'not yet hanged.'

Leonardo Da Vinci Part IV: The Curious Case of Leonardo's Friends
