The papers of Harry Freud (1909-1968) span the years 1910-1970, with
the bulk of material dating from 1938 to 1968. The collection consists of
correspondence, a
subject
file, and
writings
pertaining to the extended families of Alexander Freud, Harry's father, and
Sigmund Freud, his uncle. There are genealogical records as well as various
recollections and reminiscences, including firsthand material concerning the
Freud family's plight in Vienna following the Nazi anschluss of Austria in
1938. Harry Freud and his parents were able to immigrate to the United States
and to Canada, but four widowed or unmarried aunts, all of whom died in
concentration camps during World War II, remained behind. As manager of his
aunts' financial affairs from the mid-1930s onward--a responsibility delegated
to him by his father and famous uncle--Harry Freud served as the North American
conduit of Freud family communications among its far-flung English, American,
and Central European members after 1939.
Correspondents include his parents, Alexander and Sophie Schreiber
Freud, his grandmother, Amalia Freud, and other Freud relatives including
Edward L. Bernays, Anna Freud, Ernst L. Freud, and Rose Beatrice Winternitz
Waldinger.
