Google Honors Sigmund Freud On His 160th Birthday

Google Sigmund Freud Logo

Today on Google.com is a special Google Doodle, a Google logo, designed for honoring the life of Sigmund Freud. Today would be his 160th birthday and he is one of the most well known neurologist and is considered the father of psychoanalysis. He analyzes people’s dreams as something that means more than just nothing.

He was born on May 6, 1856 in Czech Republic and died at the age of 83 on September 23, 1939 in London. Freud lived and worked in Vienna, having set up his clinical practice there in 1886. In 1938 Freud left Austria to escape the Nazis (today is the day after Yom HaShoa, a day that remembers those horrible days) . He died in exile in the United Kingdom in 1939.

The Doodler expressed their inspiration behind the Doodle:

I am sure there are many happy searchers out there after spotting this Google Doodle.
