Using jSoupLinkjSoupLink:

<< jSoupLink`
ParseHTML[
  "https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1921/einstein-facts.html",
  ".laureate_info_wrapper p",
  "text"
  ] // TableForm

It is possible to be more precise:

ParseHTML[
 "https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1921/einstein-facts.html",
 "span[itemprop=birthDate]",
 "text"
 ]

{"14 March 1879"}

I don't intend to explain how I figure out the CSS rules but there are a lot of things you can do quite easily with this jSoupLink if you know how. You could write a script that starts from this directory of Nobel Prizes and recursively collect data from all laureates, for example.
