Lesson 16
Sigmund Freud

To the Nazis, Freud's ideas were anathema. Not only were they the work of a Jewish thinker but they were representative of what the Nazis thought of as the sickness and decadence of the modern world.

His books were burnt in Berlin. He came to London in 1938 and to 20 Maresfield Gardens, Hampstead where he spent the last year of his life, writing Moses and Monotheism, his last significant work, and fighting against cancer of the jaw, which claimed his life on 23rd September 1939.

The house in Maresfield Gardens is now a museum devoted to Freud's life and work.

There are plaques on the house dedicated to Freud and to his daughter Anna, a pioneer of child psychoanalysis, who continued to live there until her own death in 1982.
