Biographical Note

Otto Fleischmann was born in 1896. A medical doctor, he was taught psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud in Vienna where he was associated with other psychoanalysts including Anna Freud. After the German Nazi takeover of Austria, Fleischmann went to Budapest, Hungary. In 1944, with the German occupation of Hungary, he received protection from the Swedish Foreign Ministry through diplomatic cover provided by Raoul Wallenberg. Fleischmann subsequently worked with Wallenberg in his efforts to save Jews in Hungary, 1944-1945. After the war, he returned to Vienna to work with psychoanalyst August Aichhorn. By 1951, Fleischmann had joined the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas. He died in 1963.
