Born in Budapest in 1928 as Judit Zsuszánna Feldman, Susan Taubes began to flee Hungary at the age of eleven, accompanied only by her father, a Hungarian psychoanalyst. The mother stays behind in Hungary. She is portrayed as “mostly absent” and as someone “who hastily sent contradicting signals of resistance and a desire for solidarity”: “The alienation in the relationship with the mother seemed irreversible early on.” Something that shapes her life. The father, on the other hand, is pedagogically very careful and raises the daughter alone from the age of eleven. The only child Taubes attends reform schools and is supported there, just like at home, in a variety of ways, which will also shape her.
