No full textFebruary 10, 2006Maria Eva Bergmann, née Vari, was born on Feb. 4, 1919 in Vienna, Austria. She escaped to Zurich, Switzerland in October 1938 with the help of a family friend. Bergmann stayed in Switzerland illegally for 3 months until her aunt, who lived in London, got her a visitor visa for England. There she and her aunt found two sponsors for her parents, who were able to come to England in 1940. They boarded a ship in Liverpool and immigrated to New York, where Bergmann got a refugee scholarship to study psychology, launching a career as a psychoanalyst.Austrian Heritage Collectio
