In 1934, the art dealer Max Stern (1904-1986) took over Galerie Stern, which was founded by his father on Königsallee in Düsseldorf. In 1935, Stern was denied admission to the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts due to his Jewish ancestry, and thus was compelled to give up his respected art gallery. At the end of 1937, the art historian was forced to conclusively liquidate his business. Shortly thereafter, Stern fled to London via Paris, before seeking refuge in Canada in 1941. There, he would make a fresh start, becoming one of Canada's most influential gallery owners. This publication is the first in Germany to pay tribute to the life of this extraordinary art dealer and his family.
