Marguerite Fould

Marguerite Stern (née Fould) (1866–1956) was a French Jewish art collector whose property was seized by Nazis during the occupation of Paris.

[1][2] Born in 1866 into the French Jewish bourgeoisie as the daughter of Henri Fould and Suzette Stern, Fould married into the Stern banking dynasty of which her husband Edgard Stern (1854–1937) was part.

[3] During the occupation of France by Nazi Germany, the Stern and Fould families were persecuted unter antisemitic laws due to their Jewish origins.

Their property, including artworks, was looted.

[5] In 2020 France's Minister of Culture, Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin, restituted seven artworks that had belonged to Fould-Stern to her heirs.
