Einstein biography than was sick

In the German city of Ulme, in the house where Albert Einstein was born, a new museum dedicated to the family of the great theoretic and the history of the city Jewish community was opened. She opened on Friday, July 5, in the house on Banghofstrasse in German Ulma, where the most famous resident of this city was born on April 14. Then there was a mattress store and feather beds in the building, in which Helena Einstein Helene Hindle Einstein worked, the grandmother of the future physicist.

Now a new museum has been created here, telling the story of the Einstein family, closely intertwined with the history of the Jewish community of Ulma. The organization of the exhibition was also attended by now living relatives of the family. The life of the family and the history of the Jewish community Albert Einstein spent the first 15 months of his life in this old house.

One of the two parts of the museum exposition tells about them. Here you can see the genealogical family tree, magazine articles, stamps, toys, a box with a children's wooden mosaic, figurines and other things depicting a scientist. In particular, at the exhibition you can find out about the circumstances of the formation of the Jewish community in these places in the 19th century, in which Albert Einstein was born, about its prime, not least thanks to the created family enterprises, as well as its destruction in the 20th century.

The connections are traced - through letters and photographs - Einstein with relatives living in the city of his birth, and also tells about his help to family members who have undergone Nazi terror. Exhibits of the exhibition illustrate manifestations of anti -Semitism, persecution of Jews, their deportation and death in Nazi camps, flight and emigration. Einstein's cousin Lina was killed in Treblink's concentration camp, and the other sister - Berta - died in the ghetto Terezienstadt.

They are complemented by media technologies, thanks to which visitors will be able to see or download the accompanying information. With the help of tablets provided by the museum, you can make a fascinating virtual tour of the Ulm time of Einstein. In the basement of the museum there are workshops and premises for school classes. If we talk about the family life of the scientist, then he was married twice.

The biographers failed to clarify the fate of the eldest daughter Lyserl for sure - probably she died in infancy as a result of complications from Scarlatina. The son of Edward suffered from a severe form of schizophrenia and ended his life in the Zurich psychiatric hospital in the year. The average son of Hans Albert, born in the year, was a specialist in the field of geo -engineering and professor of the University of California.

Soon after the divorce from his first wife, Einstein was combined with his cousin Elsa Einsa Einstein and adopted her two children. Albert Einstein died in Princeton on April 18 from Aortic Aneurysm. A few months before, when it became clear that health was deteriorating, he wrote a will and told friends that he had completed his task on Earth. His body was cremated, and the ashes were scattered.

However, fragments of the brain of a brilliant scientist have been preserved. The American patho -man Thomas Harvey seized it during the autopsy, and then cut it into many blocks, in order to study and explain the phenomenon of genius. Today, Einstein’s brain cuts can be seen in museums. The last work of the Nobel Laureate in physics, which, by the end of his life, has become the opponent of nuclear weapons and co-founder of the Extraordinary Committee of Jester Scientists and Paguoshi movement for world scientists, was an unfinished appeal to prevent a nuclear war.
