Goldensohn served as prison psychiatrist until July 26, 1946. He had resolved to write a book about the experience but later contracted tuberculosis and died from a coronary heart attack in 1961 before accomplishing the book project. The detailed notes he took were later researched and collated by his brother Eli (1916–2013), a retired neurologist. Robert Gellately, a World War II scholar, edited and annotated the interviews in the 2004 book The Nuremberg Interviews: An American Psychiatrist's Conversations with the Defendants and Witnesses.[1]
After the war, Goldensohn kept his papers at his New York City office-apartment and his home in Tenafly, New Jersey.[5] He and his wife, Irene ("Renee") had three children, Max, Daniel, and Julia.[6]
