Note: Jimmy Ernst was raised by his mother, Louise Straus, in Cologne. His father was the artist Max Ernst. In 1938, Ernst emigrated to the United States one week before the Nazi Kristallnacht. While his relationship with his father was strained, it opened doors which eventually led him to be hired as Peggy Guggenheim's personal assistant.
