Adolf Josef Storfer
Adolf Josef Storfer (* 1888 in Botoșani ; † December 2, 1944 in Melbourne ) was an Austrian writer , journalist and publisher .
Life
Adolf Joseph Storfer grew up in Transylvania in a wealthy family. The father was a timber dealer, the mother came from a Jewish banking family in Chernivtsi . Storfer attended the Honterus High School in Cluj- Napoca . Storfer studied law and literature in Klausenburg, Vienna and Zurich and then completed an apprenticeship as a journalist. From the 1910s he belonged to the Vienna circle around Sigmund Freud . From 1925 to 1932 he was director of the International Psychoanalytical Publishing House in Vienna and co-editor of Freud's collected writings . In the following years he published two "word biographies": words and their fates (1935) and in the thicket of language (1937); both were reissued several times from the 1980s. In 1938 he changed his first name “Adolf” to “Albert” and fled from the National Socialists to Shanghai , where he founded the exile magazine “ Gelb Post” ; from there he moved on to Australia . Storfer belonged to one of the last of the Vienna Psychoanalytical Association, which still managed to leave Vienna in November 1938. The ready-to-print work on first names, which was created shortly before his emigration, was confiscated by the National Socialists and is no longer preserved.
Storfer was no longer able to gain a foothold in Australia. He was physically and mentally battered and no longer took up any journalistic activity. Instead, he worked in a sawmill and as a knob turner and died in the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne of complications from pneumonia.
