- Her father was an engineer and work assignments often took the young family out of the country. It was on such a business related sojourn that baby Jessica was born in Calcutta, India on St Valentine's Day 1900, joining elder siblings Nicholas, Fred, and Nadea, to complete the Dragonetti family, devout Catholics.
Orphaned by 1909, she applied herself to studies, Jessica went to the Philadelphia Girls Catholic High School, where her devout faith was nurtured by the extraordinary efforts of the Sisters of Charity, who guided the maturing Jessica in further developing her musical talents. Her education continued at Georgian Court (today Georgian Court University) in Lakewood, New Jersey. As a student, Jessica was invited to New York for singing lessons under the renowned teacher Estelle Liebling. Mother Superior cooperated by arranging school work around these trips; even granting a leave of absence to stay in New York for extended periods of time.
She met her future husband, New York businessman Nicholas Turner, at a party given by mutual friends in 1944. After a three year courtship, the couple married in 1947. A private ceremony was held at the residence of Francis Cardinal Spellman, as vows were exchanged. She had always maintained that her career took so much energy that she could not possibly consider marriage. After the marriage, her focus shifted from performing and more toward humanitarian and church activities, resulting in numerous awards and even recognition from the Pope. - Fromm came from a strictly religious Jewish family that had already produced numerous rabbis.

He attended high school in Frankfurt and graduated with a high school diploma. From 1918 he studied law at the University of Frankfurt am Main. After two semesters he left Frankfurt and moved to Heidelberg. There he continued his studies in psychology, philosophy and sociology. The Free Jewish Teaching House was founded in 1920. Fromm was also among the founders. During this time a collaboration with Walter Benjamin emerged. In 1922 he completed his studies with a doctorate. He wrote his dissertation on the topic "Jewish Law. A Contribution to the Sociology of Diaspora Jewry". In 1926 he married the psychoanalyst Frieda Reichmann. During this time he also turned away from Orthodox Judaism. He began studying psychology and psychiatry in Munich. Among other things, he was a student of Karl Landauer.

He separated from his wife in 1941 and they divorced in 1942. Fromm fell ill with tuberculosis and went to Davos, Switzerland, in 1932 for almost a year. A year after the National Socialists came to power, he moved to New York, where the Institute for Social Research also emigrated. Fromm ran a psychoanalysis practice in New York. From 1934 to 1939 he taught at Columbia University in New York. When Adorno wanted to join the Institute for Social Research as a full member in 1939, Fromm declared his resignation. The following year he became a US citizen.
His work entitled "The Fear of Freedom" was published in 1941. It distinguishes him as the most established representative of neo-psychoanalysis. It differs from Siegmund Freud's psychoanalysis and focuses on social aspects as well as other drives. From 1941, Fromm held a professorship in psychology in Vermont. After his divorce, Fromm married Henny Gurland in 1944. Three years later, in 1947, his treatise "Psychoanalysis and Ethics" was published. In 1949 he left the USA and moved to Mexico. There he founded a practice in Mexico City. Two years later he was an associate professor of psychoanalysis at the university there. In 1952 his wife died. The following year he married Annis Freemann. His work "The Art of Loving" was published in 1956. The work not only received positive reviews from experts, but was also well received by the general public. Erich Fromm joined the American peace movement in 1957 and spoke out against the USA's political commitment to nuclear weapons.
In 1963 he founded the Mexican Psychoanalytic Institute. Two years later he retired. In the same year, the joint work "Humanist Socialism" was created, in which Herbert Marcuse and Ernst Bloch, among others, appear as authors. In 1974 he left Mexico and moved back to Europe. There he settled in Muralto in Ticino, Switzerland. In 1976 his work "Having and Being" was edited. The following year he suffered his second heart attack. In 1979 Fromm was awarded the Nelly Sachs Prize.
