The Life of Albert Einstein

This enlightening presentation examines the life of the man whose name has become synonymous with “genius.” Learn how a childhood fascination with a compass played a role in the development of the Nobel prize-winning scientist, how he accepted a job in Princeton to escape Nazi Germany and how he used his celebrity to advocate for civil rights and advance world peace.   For this lecture we welcome Eve Mandel, a guest speaker from the Princeton Historical Society.
