science “complement each other in the release they offer,” but he later changed that to Befriedigung, or satisfaction, according to Barbara<br />
Wolff of Hebrew University.<br />

24. Clark, 25; Einstein 1949b, 3; Reiser, 28. (Anton Reiser was the pseudonym of Rudoph Kayser, who married Ilse Einstein, the daughter of<br />
Einstein’s second wife, Elsa.)<br />
25. Maja Einstein, xix, says he was 7; in fact he enrolled on Oct. 1, 1885, when he was 6.<br />
26. According to the version later told by his stepson-in-law, the teacher then added that Jesus was nailed to the cross “by the Jews”; Reiser,<br />
30. But Einstein’s friend and physics colleague Philipp Frank makes a point of specifically noting that the teacher did not raise the role of<br />
the Jews; Frank 1947, 9.<br />
27. Fölsing, 16; Einstein to unknown recipient, Apr. 3, 1920, CPAE 1: lx.<br />

gymnasium, which he actually did in Oct. 1888, at age 9 and a half.<br />
29. Brian 1996, 281. A Google search of Einstein failed math, performed in 2006, turned up close to 648,000 references.<br />

35. The first edition appeared in twelve volumes between 1853 and 1857. New editions, under a new title that is referred to in Maja’s essay,<br />
appeared in the late 1860s. They were constantly updated. The version likely owned by Einstein had twenty-one volumes and was bound<br />
into four or five large books. The definitive study of this book’s influence on Einstein is Frederick Gregory, “The Mysteries and Wonders of<br />
Science: Aaron Bernstein’s Naturwissenschaftliche Volksbücher and the Adolescent Einstein,” in Howard and Stachel 2000, 23–42.<br />
