Andrew Nagorski | Saving Freud

While many are aware of Sigmund Freud’s profound scientific accomplishments, few know of his suspenseful escape from Vienna following the Nazi Anschluss of Austria. Author and veteran journalist, Andrew Nagorski, discusses the diverse rescue squad (including an American diplomat, a Bonaparte princess, a British psychoanalyst and more) that made the last-second escape possible for Austrian-Jewish Freud, and the sociopolitical climate that convinced Freud to briefly remain in his native Vienna despite the Nazi takeover.
