The current special exhibition THE FREUD CASE. DOCUMENTS OF INJUSTICE examines the final months of the Freud family in Nazi Vienna and recounts the events in the years that followed. The systematic looting of Sigmund Freud and his brother Alexander is traced in detail, while new findings deepen our knowledge of the fate and murder of their four sisters, Rosa, Maria, Adolfine, and Pauline, by the Nazi regime. In a conversation with Florian Müller of OKTO, curator Daniela Finzi discusses the exhibition, which can be visited until April 5, 2026, and offers a glimpse inside. As part of a focus commemorating the November pogroms of 1938, OKTO will show the documentary WE LIVED... IN THE NINTH DISTRICT by the Fortunoff Archive for Holocaust Testimonies after the conversation. Contemporary historian Julie Dawson from the University of Vienna’s Institute of Contemporary History discusses the making of the documentary.
