Einstein fled Germany in 1933, lecturing in Oxford and Glasgow in June, and meeting Winston Churchill. In September, Einstein spent three weeks in Norfolk, at the invitation of Oliver Locker-Lampson MP, protected by two armed women secretaries. During this period, Jacob Epstein modelled his bust of Einstein, noting how he ‘resembled the ageing Rembrandt’. In October, before leaving for America, Einstein gave a speech in the Royal Albert Hall, attended by a crowd of 10,000, praising democracy and warning of the dangers ahead.
