The future is uncertain: either Austrian fascism or the swastika.

On 20 February 1934, Sigmund Freud wrote to his son Ernst:

“The future is uncertain: either Austrian fascism or the swastika. In the latter event we shall have to leave; native fascism we are willing to take in our stride up to a certain point; it can hardly treat us badly as its German cousin.”
