Lieserl Einstein (late January, 1902 - September, 1903?) was the first child of physicist Albert Einstein and Mileva Marić and, according to some sources, died in infancy.

 MRS. EINSTEIN
You might think McGrail would have limitless artistic choices in portraying Lieserl's quest, but her canvas is already full to bursting with the dismal images of the times in which Lieserl lives -- particularly the death camps and the atomic bomb.
A prodigy in physics like her father, she loses her husband and one of her children to the Nazis, for whom she tries to create the ultimate weapon; later on, she claims to be secretly responsible for the successful functioning of the American bomb that explodes over Hiroshima in August 1945.
Lieserl broods constantly, not only about physical theories (her father's theory of relativity and Heisenberg's quantum mechanics) but about their possible application to everyday life, in which nothing -- to her jaded eye -- is ever quite what it seems.

In order to uncover Lieserl's fate, author Michele Zackheim knew she had to gain access to the fiercely proud and private Serbian kin who sheltered Mileva after the baby's birth until she rejoined Albert in Switzerland in 1903, and presumably never saw her daughter again.
Scholars have assumed that she was put up for adoption, but Zackheim, who went to Serbia and Germany to comb archives and to interview the Einsteins' surviving relatives, neighbors and associates, believes that Lieserl was born with a severe mental handicap and died of scarlet fever in infancy.
When Lieserl died of scarlet fever less than two years after her birth, the family covered up all traces of her existence and kept secret this painful chapter in their history.

In 1990, Karen Joy Fowler published "Lieserl," a piquant and moving tribute to Albert Einstein's daughter, a woman largely neglected by history and, sad to say, the great scientist himself.
"Lieserl" is a tough act to follow, but in Three Days to Never Tim Powers has done so with brio, bravado and a salutary measure of lunacy.
When the story begins, Lieserl's grandson is now a parent himself, and so Powers gives us a second father-daughter pairing: widower Frank Marrity -- the name is a variation on Maric -- and 12-year-old Daphne.

Lieserl's existence was kept hidden even from his closest friends, and within months she had disappeared from his life without trace.

Baby Lieserl was given up for adoption in her mother’s village in southern Hungary so that the great man’s studies would not be disturbed.
Maric soon lost track of her daughter; it was assumed Lieserl died in a scarlet fever epidemic.
That is the thesis of this rollicking, entertaining novel, and it works brilliantly - when a teenaged Lieserl determines that light is sometimes a wave and sometimes a particle, or a twentysomething Lieserl applies her father’s (and her) theories of the universe to the construction of a German atomic bomb.

 Einstein's Daughter
In ''Einstein's Daughter,'' the novelist Michele Zackheim contends instead that Lieserl died young from complications related to scarlet fever.
Unfortunately, her labored elimination of each candidate seems altogether hollow, as if Zackheim were compensating for a lack of material about Lieserl with too much information on other matters, often interesting but arguably tangential.
Her precise and slightly voyeuristic account of the Einstein-Maric relationship is the strongest part of the book, giving a portrait, familiar by now, of Einstein as an unsentimental, cold philanderer and suggesting that he suffered from syphilis and fathered an illegitimate son who lives in Prague.

During their romance, Albert and Mileva had a daughter, Lieserl; after their marriage they had two sons, Hans Albert and Eduard.
While the boys grew up to have at first a close and later a quite distant relationship with their father, there is no mention of Lieserl after her second year, and no record of what became of her.
She may have died of scarlet fever, or been given up for adoption, possibly to a member of Mileva’s family in Hungary, where the child was born.

 Einstein-Maric Reunion
Yet, despite the couple's love for each other and their daughter, it is now believed that Lieserl was left in Yugoslavia as an infant, and eventually possibly given up for adoption by relatives, or by another family.
This is reminiscent of family custom among Biblical and other early patriarchal tribal cultures, in cases where the natural father had died or left and widows or divorcees were not seen as men's equals and thus, unable or unfit to remarry outside the family clan or to be able to support themselves and their children.
Because of the sealed secrecy of the papers involved in Lieserl's adoption, it is likely that neither she herself, nor Einstein, nor Elsa, nor Mileva, indeed, that no living person anymore could have known if Dukas herself, as some have speculated, was or may have been Lieserl.

Beyond that, Lieserl Einstein is lost to history.
