Hilferding was the first woman admitted into the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society.[1] Her husband was the Austro-Marxist economist Rudolf Hilferding.
She was murdered in the Holocaust, dying on a train from Theresienstadt to Maly Trostenets.
She failed to leave Austria in time for the Anschluss, and was stripped of her apartment, placed in an old people's home and deported on June 28, 1942. She died of exhaustion during a transfer between the Theresienstadt and Maly Trostenets camps on September 23, 19421. Her eldest son, Karl Hilferding, was arrested by the French police as he fled the Netherlands, before being able to cross the Swiss border. He was interned at the Drancy camp, then deported to Auschwitz, where he died on December 2, 19424. Only his second son, Peter Milford-Hilferding (de) (1908-2007), an Austrian economist, survived.
