Summary

[edit]
Description

Immigration documents relating to Albert Einstein’s dramatic escape from Nazi Germany have been discovered and are on show for the very first time at the UK Border Agency National Museum.

The landing card shown here is proof of Einstein’s journey from Belgium to Dover on 26 May 1933. Now, after nearly 80 years stored away at Heathrow Airport, the landing card issued to the ‘father of modern physics’ has been discovered by curators.

Landing cards were completed by all passengers arriving in Britain. This card marks Albert Einstein's arrival at Dover on 26 May 1933 from Ostende, Belgium. He describes his occupation as professor and nationality Swiss. On the reverse he states to Immigration officers he is bound for Oxford.
