[edit] ransom
Could someone clarify the term "ransom" as applied to Freud and the National Socialists?
Freud was held captive in Austria by the Nazis until Bonaparte paid them a ransom of a quarter of a million Austrian schillings. His passport was then returned and he was permitted to emigrate. Such ransoms were not uncommon in the beginning of the Nazi conquest of Europe. I've also seen the figure given as £20,000 (which may or may not be equivalent). - Nunh-huh 23:14, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Notes for possible use in article
There was a 1957 television drama, MATINEE THEATRE: THE RANSOM OF SIGMUND FREUD [1] based on Freud's difficulties escaping the clutches of the Nazis.
Wasn't Marie Bonaparte's title Papal rather than French? (See the articles about her father and his title)NRPanikker (talk) 01:38, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
