==Early life and education==
Roy Masters was born, Reuben Obermeister, in London, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in 1928 to a Jewish family of diamond cutters. His Father, Boris Obermeister, a goldsmith, was born in Ukriane. His Mother, Elizabeth (Betsy) Obermeister (née Monnickendam), was born in the Netherlands. Masters' maternal grandmother was Rosalie Rothschild. Masters' uncle, Loius Monnickendam, was a diamond cutter who founded the well known Monnickendam diamond company in Amsterdam in 1890. On the outbreak of World War I in 1914 the firm moved to Britain, relocating the head office to Hatton Garden, the famous jewellery district in London. Following this, another of Masters' uncles, Albert Abraham Monnickendam, became the second president of the Monnickendam diamond company, which he renamed to A.Monnickendam Ltd. Several of Masters' other uncles were also diamond cutters. In 1943, when Masters was just 15, his father Boris died, having just emerged from a bankruptcy imposed in 1929, and Roy was sent to Brighton, England to apprenticeship in diamond cutting in his uncle Albert's company, A.Monnickendam Ltd. The firm continues in business to the present day and trades successfully, incorporated Monnickendam Diamonds Ltd. However, in the austere 1940s in Britain, his family could only afford education for his younger brother, so Masters could not attend college. In the United Kingdom the surname Masters became a common anglicised surname for those with the surname Obermeister and Roy Masters' father, Boris, also went by the name Boris Masters.〔William Wolf, (''Healers, Gurus and Spiritual Guides'' (pdf) ), © 1969, 1975, 2005, published by the Foundation of Human Understanding (Originally published by Sherbourne Press, 1969)〕
