![Today on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we also want to commemorate Louise Straus-Ernst (1893-1944), Max Ernst's first wife and mother of their son Jimmy. Born in Cologne into a Jewish family, Louise Straus studied art history at the University of Bonn and was one of the first women to obtain a doctorate there. She met Max Ernst, who also studied in Bonn. They married during the First World War and Louise Straus-Ernst worked at the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne, of which she became provisional director in 1919. In the post-war period, the Cologne flat at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring 24 became the centre of activity of the Cologne Dada group. Their son Hans-Ulrich, called Jimmy, was born in 1920. Max Ernst left his family in 1922 to join the Parisian artists' movement. In May 1933, Louise Straus-Ernst fled Cologne for Paris.
There she managed to stay in contact with the artistic scene until the National Socialists invaded Paris. Unlike the majority of the Surrealists, including Max Ernst, there was no possibility for her to escape from the National Socialists in Europe. After being held in the notorious Camp de Gurs internment camp in 1940, she and other Jewish prisoners were deported to Ausschwitz on 30 June 1944, where she was presumably murdered in early July 1944.
