German journalist and artist

Luise Straus-Ernst (December 2, 1893 – d. early July 1944), also known as Louise Ernst, Louise Straus, Louise Ernst-Straus, or Luise Ernst-Straus, was a Jewish German art historian, writer, journalist, and artist, sometimes using an artistic Dadaist alias Armada von Duldgedalzen.[1][2]

She was the first wife of surrealist painter and sculptor Max Ernst and mother of painter Jimmy Ernst.[1]

Being a Jew, when the Nazis came to power, she emigrated to France in 1933. With the outbreak of World War II she could not emigrate further and found refuge in a hotel in Manosque, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France, together with a group of other Jewish emigrants. There she wrote her autobiography Nomadengut. The manuscript survived and was published in 2000. On April 28, 1944 she was arrested in a raid and on June 30 deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where she was killed on an unknown date.[1]
