A dramatic true story about Sigmund Freud’s last-minute
escape to London following the German annexation of Austria and the
group of friends who made it possible.
In March 1938, German soldiers crossed the border into Austria and
Hitler absorbed the country into the Third Reich. Anticipating
these events, many Jews had fled Austria, but the most famous
Austrian Jew remained in Vienna, where he had lived since early
childhood. Sigmund Freud was eighty-one years old, ill with cancer,
and still unconvinced that his life was in danger.
But several prominent people close to Freud thought otherwise, and
they began a coordinated effort to persuade Freud to leave his
beloved Vienna and emigrate to England. The group included a Welsh
physician, Napoleon’s great-grandniece, an American ambassador,
Freud’s devoted youngest daughter Anna, and his personal
doctor.
Saving Freud is the story of how this remarkable
collection of people finally succeeded in coaxing Freud, a man who
seemingly knew the human mind better than anyone else, to emerge
from his deep state of denial about the looming catastrophe,
allowing them to extricate him and his family from Austria so that
they could settle in London. There Freud would live out the
remaining sixteen months of his life in freedom.
This book is both an incisive new biography of Freud and a group
biography of the extraordinary friends who saved Freud’s life.
