Einstein's sister: Maja Einstein - her life and her brother Albert

.

Cimmino Nicoletta, "This relationship was under the Eros of the intellect", interview about Mileva Maric and Albert Einstein with Franziska Rogger, Radio SRF 4, Zeitblende 19.12.2015. http://www.srf.ch/sendungen/zeitblende/diese-beziehung-stand-unter-dem-eros-des-intellekts


"The brother's fame does not provide the Swiss historian Franzlska Rogger with sufficient reason to study Maja Einstein (1881-1951). Nevertheless, the decisive attraction of this richly illustrated biography is that it presents the life plan of a largely unknown, intelligent woman in contrast to her brother's genius." Berlin, Reinhard Lassek, Das Parlament, 4. 10. 2005, p. 13

«An unusual family story in an extraordinary phase of 20th century history, told in a catchy and appealing way in book form.» Giessen, Giessener Allgemeine, 10.12.2005

«One hundred years after the theory of relativity, this richly illustrated, well-written and remarkably concise book gives us another Einstein formula - that of unparalleled sibling love.» Zurich, Urs Rauber, NZZ am Sonntag, 12.6.2005, p. 81«To mark the 100th anniversary of that miraculous year in which patent clerk Albert Einstein turned the world of physics upside down from his apartment in Bern's Kramgasse, a biography of Einstein's younger sister Maja is now being published.» Catherine Arber, Der Bund, 25.4.2005, p. 19«It is precisely the closeness to the documentary - letters, photos, telegrams - that makes this first publication about Albert Einstein's sister an exciting read.» Zurich, rox, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, 11./12.6. 2005, p. 50


«The genius was sparing with love. Albert Einstein and women.» Bern, Annina Hasler, in: Berner Zeitung 24.7.2010


Albert Einstein was also a guest in Lucerne. Several times, because his sister Maja lived in Lucerne for ten years. If Albert Einstein had wanted it, his two sons would have grown up here too. Neue Luzerner Zeitung, April 9, 2005, p. 40/41


"Albert's sister Maja Einstein also went to school in Aarau. It is well known that Aarau helped the world's most famous cantonal student to pass his Matura exams and that high school teacher Jost Winteler even welcomed the young Einstein into his family as a guest. It is less well known that Albert's sister Maja also trained as a teacher in Aarau. Because she married the youngest Winteler son, Paul, she - and indirectly Albert Einstein too - remained connected to the Aarau family, which also had to overcome dramatic blows of fate." Aargauer Zeitung, July 6, 2005


"Maja Einstein, the confidante of her brilliant brother. Albert and Maja Einstein shared a great sibling love. Maja Einstein, Albert's younger sister, was too clever to lead a conformist life, but not rebellious enough to break completely with conventions." unilink, the news of the University of Bern, May 2005, p. 15/16
