Albert Einstein left Germany in 1932, well before the Nazis rose to power in 1933 and the heavy restrictions on Jews kicked in. Thousands of other German Jews left before 1938 as well.

If by "Einstan" you mean Albert Einstein and by "country" you mean Germany, then my counter question is how could he NOT leave the country?
He did not leave during the Holocaust but rather before when discrimination against Jews made it intolerable for 1000s of Jews and they left along with Einstein.
Einstein, being Jewish, would have lost his job as well had he stayed since all Jews were fired from positions at universities.

In 1933, Einstein-already a prominent German scientist-was accused of treason by the Third Reich, and his books were burned. He sought refuge in the United States and then used his influence and financial resources to obtain visas for other refugees. A saying attributed to Einstein demonstrates his remarkable attitude toward this struggle: "Politics are for the moment. An equation is for eternity."

Because many German Jewish intellectuals fled--Einstein, Freud etc. Germany had a tremendous "brain drain" --the US certainly benefited from this though.

Einstein was not a Jew in real life.
