Jewish emigrant scientists

Jewish emigrant scientists refer to Jewish individuals who left their home countries, often fleeing persecution or seeking better opportunities, and made significant contributions to science and technology in their new environments. Many prominent figures, such as Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, were part of this group, particularly during the early to mid-20th century when rising anti-Semitism in Europe led many to emigrate to the United States and elsewhere. Their work has profoundly impacted various fields, including physics, chemistry, and medicine, helping to advance human knowledge and contribute to innovations that we benefit from today.
