Einstein’s Personal Life
At both the Einstein house and museum I learn a lot about his personal life. Before the trip I knew Einstein was not very good to his wives and that for the most part physics was a priority. One thing I did not know about was that he had a daughter that he had never met. Lieserl was what they believe to be Einstein’s first daughter and he was never able to met her because by the time Albert was back with his family it seemed that his daughter had just disappeared. It is unsure if she was sick and had passed away or if she just left, but overall Einstein never met Lieserl. Another thing I did not know before the museum was that Albert ended up divorcing his first wife to be with his cousin. I knew Einstein had a few marriages and that they were not ideal marriages, but I did not know he was married to his cousin. After attending the museum and house it seemed that Albert had a pretty weird life.

Before coming to his apartment, I did not know anything about Einstein's personal life. Learning about it I was not necessarily surprised or disappointed because he was never a huge inspiration for me personally, but rather I was appreciative of the fact that they told this part of his life instead of censoring it to make him appear more attractive. I also did not know he married his cousin, that was very odd.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked by what I learned about Einstein's personal life as well. I wonder what happened to his first daughter. When we were at his apartment, they mentioned that Lieserl is historically lost. I recall that once Einstein and Mileva got back together there were no more accounts of Lieserl.
