After the Nazis took over in Austria on March 12, 1938. Freud and his family left Austria on June 4, 1938 and arrived in England two days later. Freud instructed his physician to administer a lethal dose of morphine on September 23, 1939, after decades of painful treatments for incurable bone cancer. You can hear that Freud could only speak with difficulty at this point in his life.
