Born in the German city of Ulm, in a poor Jewish family of Herman and Pauline Einstein. Attended a Catholic elementary school in Munich (later he believes in the existence of God does not distinguish between the Christian and Jewish faith). The boy grew withdrawn and uncommunicative, did not show any significant success in school. With six years at the insistence of his mother, he started playing the violin. Passion for music persisted in Einstein's lifelong.
