The owner of the gallery, Gustav Cramer (1881–1961), came from a family of Jewish art dealers in Kassel, Germany. After World War I, he moved to Berlin, where he worked at the renowned Van Diemen gallery, in charge of the Old Masters section, and in 1933, he opened his own gallery there. After being expelled from the Reichskammer der bildenden Künste (The Reich Chamber of Visual Arts) owing to anti-Semitic laws, he moved to the Netherlands and reopened the gallery in The Hague in 1938.3

With the occupation of the Netherlands in 1940, German authorities in The Hague advised Cramer to protect himself and his family from deportation by registering the gallery under the name of his son Hans Max Cramer, who, according to Nazi racial laws, was not considered Jewish. In Nazi terminology, the gallery was "aryanized."
