Life. Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was born in Freiberg, now in the Czech Republic, but then in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He studied medicine in Vienna, where he lived and worked until the Nazis annexed Austria in 1938. Freud, who was a Jew, then took refuge in London, where he died in 1939 after a long struggle against cancer.
