Freud in the Face of Darkness
This chapter examines Sigmund Freud's profound reflections following his mother's death and the rising tide of anti-Semitism in Austria during the early 1930s. It details his contemplative struggle with the impending threats of Nazism, his family’s harrowing experiences, and his eventual decision to flee Vienna amidst the escalating dangers. The narrative not only highlights the impact of his Jewish identity on his legacy but also contrasts his reception with the ominous historical backdrop of that era.
