Personal Life

Albert Einstein was born to Herman and Pauline Einstein on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. Einstein switched primary schools several times before attending Eidgenoessische Polytechnische Schule (ETH) in Zurich. In 1901, Einstein dropped his German citizenship to apply for a Swedish citizenship. Einstein took post at a patents office in 1902. This employment position allowed Einstein the opportunity to refine his theoretical physics theories. Three years later, Einstein would submit a doctoral thesis titled "A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions" which would be accepted. Over the next several years, Einstein would continue to advance professionally, into a position as head of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institute of Physics. Despite these successes, Einstein's personal life would suffer, with a divorce in 1919, and the death of his mother a single year later. By 1932, the situation in Germany had taken a turn for the worse with the rise of the Nazi party. Einstein made a move to the United States in 1933, cutting off all ties with German institutions. Albert Einstein would continue his work in physics, and the occasional splash into politics, until his death at the age of 76 on April 18, 1955.
