According to CWS Global (Church World Service) dot-org:
Albert Einstein came to the United States fleeing Nazi persecutors. . .#cws_irp
[further background from Capital Century website:
Einstein left Germany for good in December 1932, a month before the Hitler takeover. For most of 1933, he lectured and studied in England and in Belgium. In October, he set sail for America, for what he thought would be a six-month appointment at the Institute.
A delegation of well-wishers were on hand Oct. 17, 1933 to greet the great scientist. Einstein gave them the slip. He debarked south of Manhattan, was whisked to the Jersey Shore by launch, and from there was driven to Princeton University.
