  1. I quote Albert Einstein---"God, that kid is ugly"


  2. Einstein and Mileva Marić had a daughter, Lieserl Einstein, born in early 1902. Her fate is unknown.  Lieserl was born before her parents married. Albert's mother did not like Mileva, so the baby was kept secret from Albert's family. From letters exchanged by Albert and Mileva, it is thought that Lieserl stayed with Mileva's family.

    According to some sources, died in infancy. Others believe she was adopted by Mileva's friend, Helene Savic and lived under the name, "Zorka Savic."

    This conclusion is from Einstein's correspondence with Marić. Lieserl is first mentioned in a letter from Einstein to Marić (who was abroad at the time of Lieserl's birth) dated February 4, 1902 (Collected papers Vol. 1, document 134).

    Lieserl developed Scarlet fever in early 1903. The last known mention of Lieserl was on September 19th, 1903 in a letter from Mileva to Albert; the wording is possibly telling him about her death.
