Who would ever believe that absentminded Nobel laureate professor Albert Einstein was a Soviet spy?Albert Einstein's political and humanitarian commitment was almost completely obscured from his popular image by the media since they portrayed him as a weird mathematical genius. J. Edgar Hoover obsessively accumulated 'derogatory information" on Albert Einstein since January 1933, the date of his arrival in California. But it was not until the beginning of the fifties that he set his international trap to 'get Einstein."

• Who was behind the public defaming of Einstein's humanitarian reputation?
• Why did Hoover wait for almost twenty years before challenging Einstein's loyalty to the United States?
• Were Einstein's alleged pro-Communist activities a real threat to the national security of the United States or a simple pretext to take him down as a Communist in front of the nation?Controversial and intriguing, "Einstein@Berlin" propels you to confront a truth long hidden in the shadows.
