Eduard Einstein (28 July 1910 – 25 October 1965) was born in Zurich, the second son of physicist Albert Einstein and his first wife Mileva Marić. Einstein and his family moved to Berlin in 1914, but shortly thereafter Mileva returned to Zurich, taking Eduard and his brother.
Eduard was a good student and had musical talent. He had ambitions to become a psychoanalyst, but by the age of twenty he was afflicted with schizophrenia and institutionalized two years later for the first of several times. After his illness struck, Eduard had a minimal relationship with his father.[1]
Mileva cared for him until she died in 1948. He died in the asylum Burghölzli at age 55. His family lineage has been used to raise public awareness of schizophrenia.
