"A month after the Nazis took over Austria ... every business owned by Jews had a Nazi appointed to run it. For 82-year-old Sigmund Freud ... the appointed 'commisar' was a 35-year-old chemist, Anton Sauerwald. Goebbels and Himmler wanted all psychoanalysts, especially Freud, humiliated and killed and Sauerwald was in a position to seal Freud's fate. This fascinating book tells of the Nazi raid on Freud's house ... when all books and papers were seized and handed to Sauerwald, who was briefed to investigate and find Freud guilty of something ... Yet Sauerwald chose to hide [incriminating] information from his superiors ... account of Freud's battle with the Nazis and the man who saved him"--Jacket cover.
