Marie Jahoda über ihre Trennung von Paul Lazarsfeld Wien, 1932 bis 1934 Paul [Lazarsfeld] had in 1932 fallen in love, more seriously than was his want, with Herta [Herzog, married Lazarsfeld, married Massing] who became his second wife. In 1933, he went on a Rockefeller Fellowship to the States. In order for him to marry we had to get divorced. Austrian law required in cases of incompatibility that both partners appear three times in monthly intervals before a judge who would attempt a reconciliation. In Paul’s absence, his father could substitute for him. Robert Lazarsfeld1 was a lawyer, a gentle, rather withdrawn man, always over-shadowed by his wife [i.e. Sofie Lazarsfeld, née Munk …]; I was on good terms with him and we agreed that the reconciliation attempts were nothing but a necessary formality. Imagine my consternation when at the first occasion he started to plead in earnest: Mitzi, we love you so, we love Lotte [Lazarsfeld, married Bailyn], we don’t want to lose you, reconsider.Marie Jahoda Albu: Reconstructions.
