Helene Deutsch (born Rosenbach) (1884-1982), psychoanalyst, born in Przemysl, Poland (then in Galicia, part of Austria-Hungary), where her father was president of the Jewish community. Because of the limitations on female education, she ran away to Vienna to study to be a physician. There in 1912 she married the psychiatrist, Felix Deutsch. She was the first woman assistant in the psychiatric department of Vienna University and later headed the female ward. After encountering the ideas of Freud, she gave up her academic career and was trained by Freud himself, becoming a leading figure of the second generation of analysts. In 1924 Deutsch established in Vienna a psychoanalytic training institute which she headed until leaving for the US in 1935. In the US she was on the staff of the Psychoanalytic Institute in Boston. Her main field of study was on the female psyche, summarized in her two-volume Psychology of Women.

Jozsef II studied at the Commercial Academy of Budapest and at the Hochschule fuer Bodencultur of Vienna, Austria. After a year's tour of Europe, he joined the family concern in 1880. Together with his cousin Sandor he took over a bankrupt sugar factory in Nagysurany and went on to found the distillery of Szeged and Temesvar (now Timisoara, Romania). By 1887 they had built three other sugar factories including a large refinery in Hatvan. By the 1890s they controlled almost 30% of Hungarian sugar production. He succeeded in driving out Austrian competition and helped make sugar one of Hungary’s most important export products. His banking and other financial interests made him one of the wealthiest Jews in Hungary. He represented his country on the Committee on International Sugar Agreement (Brussels, 1902). In 1908 he was appointed a member of the Court of Arbitration, which dealt dealing with points of disagreement between Austria and Hungary.

Jozsef was concerned with social welfare. For some time he was president of the National Labor Insurance Bank, an organization founded to extend medical and financial aid to workmen during periods of sickness and was vice-president of the National Association of Manufacturers. Jozsef also established pioneering welfare and sickness benefit schemes for workers in his own factories

Jozsef was a man of extensive worldly knowledge, and a connoisseur of music and a patron of the arts. He helped to establish various charitable organizations. Active in Jewish communal affairs, he was a trustee and benefactor of the Budapest rabbinical seminary and a generous supporter of the Hungarian Jewish Literary Society (IMIT). He was a Hungarian delegate to the Alliance Israelite Universelle.

In 1908, Jozsef II, was made a baron and in 1910, became a member of the Hungarian parliament's Upper Chamber. Jozsef Hatvany-Dutsch died in Bad Nauheim, Germany, in 1913.

Felix Deutsch (1884-1964), psychiatrist, born in Vienna, Austria (then Austria-Hungary). He was educated in a liberal way and the atmosphere in his parents house was religious free. While studying he was confronted with the anti-Semitic atmosphere at the University of Vienna, and joined the Zionist student organization "Kadimah". He played an important role in the organization and advocated the minority rights. He became a friend of Herzl.

Deutsch dealt with emotional factors in physical illness, which brought him to establish a clinic for “organ-neuroses” (1919) in Vienna. From 1921 Deutsch lectured in medicine at the University of Vienna. The subjects of his research connected him with Freud, and they established the first home of the Psychoanalytic Clinic in Vienna (1922). Deutsch published many articles on the interaction of emotional and physical processes, and was one of the pioneers of psychosomatic medicine.

Deutsch emigrated to Boston, MA, USA, (1935), where he became research fellow in psychiatry at Harvard University. During the years he published many articles on psychoanalytical topics. He was president of the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute (1951-1954). In his work he invented many scientific terms and enriched the psychological language. Before his death he planned to conduct a project on the art of children that immigrated to Israel from all corners of the world. Felix Deutsch was married to Helene Deutsch who was also a psychiatrist.

Judith Deutsch-Haspel (1918-2004), swimming champion, born in Vienna, Austria. She joined the Jewish sports club of Hakoah Vienna, because as a Jewess she was denied membership by most other sports clubs in Austria. Competing for Hakoah, Deutsch became Austrian swimming champion and freestyle record holder, from 1933 to 1935. The Austrian Sports Authority designated her as the Outstanding Austrian Female Athlete of 1935. A year later she was awarded the Golden Badge of Honor, having been recognized as one of the three most outstanding sportspersons in Austria. Deutsch was selected to the Austrian National team for the Olympic Games of Berlin in 1936, but she refused to participate in protest to the anti-Semitic policy of Nazi Germany.

She immigrated to Palestine the same year settling in Haifa, at the time the only city with an Olympic sized swimming pool in the country. She continued her career becoming a national champion and winning a silver medal at the World University Games in 1939, when she was a member of the University of Jerusalem team.

Following her emigration, the Austrian authorities stripped her of all her titles. They were returned to her, along with official apologies from the Austrian Parliament, only in 1995, at a ceremony held in Israel in the presence of the Austrian ambassador. Judith Deutsch-Haspel's story has been inserted in Hakoach lischot ("Watermarks"), a 2004 documentary movie by the Israeli director Yaron Zilberman about the women swimmers of the Hakoah Vienna sports club.

Bertalan Hatvany-Deutsch (1900-1981), orientalist, art collector and writer who became a patron of Hungarian literature, born in Budapest, Hungary (then part of Austria-Hungary), son of Hatvany-Deutsch Jozsef II and grandson of Hatvany-Deutsch Bernat, who were raised to nobility in 1879. Bertalan was a successful businessman. One of the writers whom he supported was the great Hungarian poet, Joseph Attila (1903-1937).

As opposed to some other members of his family argued against the full assimilation of Hungarian Jews as well as the so-called double bond (feeling equally Hungarian and Jewish). Rather he felt it was important for a Jew to retain his ‘Jewish spirit’ while ‘adjusting to the traditions and spirituality of the larger community’. An active Zionist and a generous contributor to the movement, he held views similar to those of the Berit Shalom on the problem of peace between Jews and Arabs.

B. Hatvany left Hungary in 1939, spent some time in Australia, and then settled in Paris, France, where he died. His early travels are reflected in books such as "Azsia es a nacionalizmus" ("Asia and Nationalism," 1931); "Azsia lelke" ("The Soul of Asia," 1935, which was hailed by critics as an arresting study of the philosophies and the art of that continent, and which includes much of Jewish interest, including his impressions of Erez Israel); "Konfuciustol Nehemiasig" ("From Confucius to Nehemiah," 1936); "A kinai kerdes tortenete" ("History of the Chinese Question," 1938); and "Az ut es az ige konyve" ("The Book of the Way and the World," a translation of Tao-te King, 1937).

Bertalan Hatvany, president of the Concordia Mills of Budapest, was the only member of his well known family who remained a faithful Jew. He wrote extensively on a wide variety of Jewish questions, especially in the columns of "Mult es Jovo", a noted Hungarian Jewish journal.

Lea Dragica Deutsch (1927-1943), child actor, born in Zagreb, Croatia (then part of Yugoslavia). She started acting at the age of five in professional productions of plays by Shakespeare and Moliere at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb (HNK Zagreb). Her talent was recognized by both professionals and the general public and soon she was nicknamed the “Croatian Shirley Temple”. Pathe studios of Paris produced a short documentary about Deutsch.

As a result of the introduction of the anti-Semitic policy by Fascist Croatia after the invasion of Yugoslavia by the Axis powers in April 1941, Deutsch was banned from appearing on stage and was expulsed from the school. The conversion to Catholicism of the entire family initiated by her father in 1941 and the intervention on her behalf by members of the National Theatre could save her from deportation to Auschwitz Nazi death camp in May 1943. She did not survive the six-day journey in a cattle wagon and died before the train arrived at Auschwitz. Her mother and brother, who had been deported in the same transport, died in Auschwitz, and her father alone survived the Holocaust hidden by a friend in a Catholic hospital in Zagreb.
