"On June 4, 1938, Freud, his wife Martha Bernays, his daughter Anna, the family housekeeper Paula Fichtl, and his medical supervisor, Dr. Josephine Stross, left Vienna on The Orient Express with permits obtained by Ernest Jones, then president of the Psychoanalytic Society. Resting in Paris for one night with Princess Maria Bonaparte, a stay Freud later said “restored our dignity,” they continued to London where Ernst, Freud’s son, had arranged a temporary home. Freud would die of jaw cancer the following year, in 1939, at 20 Maresfield Gardens, now The Freud Museum in London.

But Freud could not save other relatives. Four of Freud’s elderly sisters would be murdered in N**i extermination camps. In 1942, Marie Freud, Pauline Freud Winternitz, and Rosa Freud Graf, were murdered in gas chambers. His sister Adolfine Freud would die in Theresienstadt, of internal bleeding. In 1942, Ida Drucker, the mother of Freud’s son-in-law, was deported from Biarritz to Auschwitz, where she too was murdered.

After returning from Vienna, I learned that Edmund Engelman’s photographs of Freud’s home are the only surviving record of the interior world of Berggasse 19. They were nearly lost to history."
