“Former Jewish-owned property' – Art works acquired by the Münchner Stadtmuseum during National Socialism", an exhibition which ran from April 27, 2018 to January 6, 2019, put selected acquisitions on public display. It also placed the fates of the families concerned within a historical context, relating them to the museum’s history. From 1936 on, buyers started to snap up cut-price works from Siegfried Lämmle’s art and antiques business. The Münchner Stadtmuseum’s research into this acquisition, and the able assistance of the Jewish Congregation in Vienna led to Siegfried Lämmle’s heirs being successfully traced in America. In this context, an interview was produced in which Lämmle’s granddaughter, Hilde Gasierowicz, is recorded in conversation with her own daughter.
