Why did Henry Kissinger come to the US?

Henry Kissinger came to the United States as a child in 1938, fleeing Nazi Germany with his family to escape the persecution of Jews. They settled in New York City, where he later pursued his education and became a prominent scholar in international relations. His expertise in diplomacy and foreign policy eventually led him to serve as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Kissinger played a significant role in shaping U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War.
