'''Bernard Caesar Einstein''' (born 1930) is a [[physicist]], the son of [[Hans Albert Einstein]]. He is the only surviving grandson of renowned physicist [[Albert Einstein]]. Of Einstein's three children, Bernard's father Hans was the only one to marry and have children. [[Lieserl Einstein]] is assumed to have died in infancy (although other theories suggest that she was given up for adoption within the first few weeks of her life and lived to around 58 years old before dying), and [[Eduard Einstein]] developed schizophrenia and had no children.
Bernard's mother was Frieda Knecht. His parents were married in 1927, and he was born three years later, in 1930. His brother, Klaus, born in 1932, died at age 6 of [[diphtheria]]. An adopted sibling, Evelyn, was born in 1941. Frieda died in 1958, and a year later, Hans remarried, to Elizabeth Roboz, a [[neurochemistry|neurochemist]], with whom he had no children. Hans died in 1973 in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
Bernard Caesar Einstein has five children; the eldest is Thomas Einstein, a medical doctor specializing in anesthesia and working at a center for plastic and cosmetic surgery in [[Santa Monica, California]]. Bernard recounted memories of his grandfather to [[Françoise Wolff]], a Belgian documentary maker, in a letter later used as a preface to a 1998 documentary.
