    Biography
    Dr. Max Schur, born in Ukraine and living in Vienna from 1914, was a psychoanalyst and Freud's personal physician. His wife, Helen (Kraus) Schur, born in Prague, was also a doctor. They married at the Seitenstettengasse synagogue in Vienna in 1930 and had two children, Peter (b.1933) and Eva (b.1935). The Schur family lived in Vienna until June 10, 1938, when they left for London with visas obtained by Marie Bonaparte, who was born in France, married to Danish and Greek royalty, and a psychoanalyst and colleague of Freud. Ernest Jones, a British psychoanalyst, was equally important in obtaining the visas, and also obtained permission for Dr. Schur to treat Freud in England.The Schurs left for New York in April 1939. After a brief stay during the spring of 1939, the family returned to London so that Dr. Schur could care for Freud, who was in the final stage of oral cancer. Years previously Freud had told Dr. Schur that he didn't want to suffer at the end of his life. On September 1939 Dr. Schur administered a dose of morphine that caused Freud to lapse into a coma and eventually die. The Schur family moved back to New York in October 1939.

    Details taken from correspondence with Eva (Schur) Milofsky in February 2014 and Peter Schur's essay "The Freud-Schur Connection" delivered to the Vienna Psychoanalytic Association in February 1994.
