ABSTRACT
In this short space, only a fragmentary report about the role psychoanalysis played in the years I spent in the concentration camps will be possible. It was represented by Bruno Bettelheim, Dr. Brief and myself. Only the second of the three, Dr. Brief, was fully trained; his analyst had been William Reich, and he had lived in Brünn, Czechoslovakia. In the spring of 1939, when this country was occupied by the Nazis, he was arrested and sent to Buchenwald. After three years there he was transferred to Auschwitz, where he perished.
