quotation

Als der bekannte Münchener Kunsthändler Franz Drey von der Kunsthandlung A.S. Drey, Deutschland 1936 aufgrund seiner jüdischen Abstammung verlassen musste, trat dessen Anwalt Dr. Alexander Spengler an Bornheim mit dem Vorschlag heran, die Firma A.S. Drey zu übernehmen. Bornheim, der nie der NSDAP angehörte, übernahm zusammen mit seiner Frau die Firma und das Lager mit Kunstgegenständen im Wert von RM 300.000. (German)
