An adopted sibling, Evelyn, was born in 1941. Their mother died in 1958 and a year later their father Hans remarried, to Elizabeth Roboz, a neurochemist, with whom he had no children. Hans died in 1973 in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
Bernard Caesar Einstein has 5 children, the eldest of whom is Thomas Einstein, a medical doctor in Santa Monica, California, specializing in anesthesia. Bernard recounted memories of his grandfather to Françoise Wolff, a Belgian documentary maker, in a letter later used as a preface to a 1998 documentary.
