Part of Albert Einstein Collection, AR 136<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Family Separated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eduard was born in Zurich, Switzerland on July 28, 1910. Four years later the Einstein family relocated to Berlin, Germany for Albert.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, the family consisted of Albert, his first wife Mileva Maric, 10-year-old Hans, and 4-year-old Eduard. Albert affectionately referred to Eduard as Tete, a shortened form of the French word \u201cpetite\u201d, since he was the youngest child.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historydefined.net\/what-happened-to-albert-einsteins-brain-after-he-died\/\" title=\"\">Albert<\/a> and Mileva divorced shortly after the move and Mileva took the children back to Switzerland with her. Although the family was now separated, Albert made sure to check in and visit his children. He even took them on trips with him to spend time with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mileva claimed that science always came first in Albert\u2019s life, but Hans recalled fond memories of the trips the boys would take with their father. In 1919 Albert remarried. In 1933, he emigrated to the United States to avoid the rise of the Nazi party in Germany.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But he consistently saw his children and inspired their growth&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eduard\u2019s Childhood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eduard was a sickly child who often missed the trips his father planned because of his illnesses. Much of his childhood was spent rotating through hospitals and sanitariums trying to find a solution to his illnesses with his parents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This discouraged his father, who feared Eduard would never get to lead a normal life. He even stated in one letter that \u201cIt is impossible that (Eduard) would become a fully developed person.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite these struggles, however, Eduard excelled in school and seemed to follow in his father\u2019s footsteps. He became enamored with art and poetry, spending hours creating his own works.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His father also suggested the works of Sigmund Freud to Eduard, who quickly became obsessed with Freud\u2019s theories, perhaps because they felt relatable to his own mental health struggles. This was the root of Eduard\u2019s interest in the field of psychiatry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.historydefined.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/einsteins2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.historydefined.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/einsteins2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.historydefined.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/einsteins2-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mileva Mari\u0107 with sons, Eduard (born in 1910) and Hans Albert (born in 1904), taken in 1914. From Hebrew University of Jerusalem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Struggles at College<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1929 he began attending Zurich University, his father\u2019s alma mater, pursuing a degree in medicine with a focus on psychiatry. While he performed well in his classes, he struggled under the burden of his father\u2019s reputation while at school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, Albert was world-renowned for his theoretical physics. That put a lot of additional pressure on his son, who already struggled with mental illness. Then, emulating his father again, Eduard fell in love with an older woman at university.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Albert had met Mileva while at the Zurich Polytechnic Institute and became enamored although she was four years older than him. Unlike his father though, who went on to marry Mileva, Eduard\u2019s relationship fell apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he could not handle the pain, he attempted to take his own life. This resulted in the first of many times Eduard would be admitted to Burgh\u00f6lzli Hospital for his own mental well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Diagnosis and Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 22, Eduard began showing symptoms and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. While in the hospital he was treated for his schizophrenia with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historydefined.net\/vipeholm-experiments\/\" title=\"\">electroconvulsive therapy<\/a>. This involves sending electrical currents through the brain to cause seizures and alter brain chemistry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although supposedly a treatment, his family believed that the therapy he received actually worsened his condition over the course of his life. Eventually, Eduard\u2019s ability to speak and even think was irreparably damaged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Albert was heartbroken by his son\u2019s condition and deteriorating mental state. But he could do little more to help than send money to support the family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he was forced to flee Germany in 1933, Albert convinced Hans to join him in emigrating to America. He attempted to convince Eduard as well. However, Eduard\u2019s deteriorating state prevented him from being able to make the journey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This forced Albert to give what would be his final farewell to his youngest son before departing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Final Years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Albert and Hans left Europe, Mileva alone was left to care for Eduard. Even with the money that Albert sent from his job at Princeton, the cost of Eduard\u2019s care became overwhelming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mileva did everything she could to help him, including writing to renowned psychologist Carl Jung, who never answered her letter. In 1948 Mileva passed away, and Eduard went into the care of Burgh\u00f6lzli Hospital for the remainder of his life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He spent the time writing poetry and creating art, as well as writing letters to his father until Albert passed in 1955. Eduard then died in 1965 of a stroke, across the world from his only remaining family, and separated from the legacy of his father.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eduard spent his entire life in the shadow of a father who was simultaneously absent and larger than life. He inherited his father&#8217;s intellect and curiosity, but mental illness and brutal therapy techniques hindered his performance and ability to socialize.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the circumstances, Eduard tried to live a life filled with the things he loved: art, poetry, and family.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEduard Einstein: The Tragic Life of Einstein\u2019s Brightest Son.\u201d Odd Feed. <a href=\"https:\/\/oddfeed.net\/eduard-einstein\/\">https:\/\/oddfeed.net\/eduard-einstein\/<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halpern, Paul. \u201cMileva Einstein\u2019s Desperate Plea to Carl Jung: Help Me with my Son!\u201d Medium, June 29, 2020. <a href=\"https:\/\/phalpern.medium.com\/mileva-einsteins-desperate-plea-to-carl-jung-help-me-with-my-son-f3d2d01556f9\">https:\/\/phalpern.medium.com\/mileva-einsteins-desperate-plea-to-carl-jung-help-me-with-my-son-f3d2d01556f9<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navilon, Genefe. \u201cEduard Einstein: The tragic life of Albert Einstein\u2019s forgotten son.\u201d Ideapod, 2018. <a href=\"https:\/\/ideapod.com\/eduard-einstein-the-tragic-life-of-albert-einsteins-forgotten-son\/\">https:\/\/ideapod.com\/eduard-einstein-the-tragic-life-of-albert-einsteins-forgotten-son\/<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albert Einstein is the most famous scientist of the modern age.
