A German-born physicist widely considered to be one of history's greatest minds, Albert Einstein was famous, among other things, for his theory of relativity and the equation E=mc². Of Jewish ancestry, he remained in the United States during a visit in 1933, around the time at which Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party came to power. Throughout the ensuring second World War, he was a supporter of the allied cause, and recommended to President Franklin D. Roosevelt that the U.S. begin seriously looking into research of nuclear weaponry, as he believed that the German government was already doing so. Though the results of this nuclear program did not involve the war effort in Germany, as the European portion had come to an end, they were immensely consequential in the ending of the war in the Pacific theater. This medal, issued a decade-and-a-half after Einstein's death, served as the second issue in the still extant Jewish American Hall of Fame series.
