“The tears I have cried over Germany have dried. I have washed my face.”
—Marlene Dietrich (1904–1992)
“If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
