Abstract:
Newly-discovered data and reinterpretation of existing data show that Freud's parents were not totally secular persons, as he has described them, but were religious Orthodox Jews. Among other factors which made Freud become an atheist and culturally assimilated was the antisemitism prevalent in Vienna in the latter half of the 19th century, which was especially intense in Freud's case with his Galician (i.e. Eastern European) origins. It was the element of self-hatred, with which Freud's personality was imbued, which made him create a distorted image of his parents.
