Thomas Martin Einstein
Albert Einstein had three children, Lieserl Maric (1902–1903?), Hans Albert Einstein (1904–1973), and Eduard "Tete" Einstein (1910–1965), but only Hans Albert is known to have married and had children. Hans Albert's only biological child to survive to adulthood was Bernard Caesar Einstein (1930–2008), who was a physicist and the father of Thomas Martin Einstein.
Murder of the family of Robert Einstein
On 3 August a group of German soldiers arrived at the villa in search of Einstein. When he was not to be found the soldiers began vandalising the place and interrogated the women individually. The soldiers conducted an ad-hoc tribunal and then shot Einstein's wife and daughters in the garden. His nieces remained locked in the upper part of the house, guarded by a young German soldier who had refused to participate in the murders and was visibly shaken by the events. After the murders the two surviving girls were locked in a shed and the villa itself set on fire.
