Generalkonsul Olof Herman Lamms arkiv

Olof Herman Lamm was born on 23 April 1887 in Stockholm as the son of the merchant and liberal politician Herman Lamm and Lisen Lamm (née Philipson). Both of his parents came from Swedish-Jewish families who had been among the first Jews to settle permanently in Sweden in the late 18th century. From 1919 to 1933 Olof H Lamm was the Swedish Consul General in New York. In 1933 he returned to Stockholm and became the executive director of an insurance company. In addition to these posts he had a number of different assignments and was engaged in various organisations, both Jewish and non-Jewish. For instance, he was an executive on the board of the Swedish branch of ORT and on the Israeli Chamber of Commerce in Sweden. He died in Lidingö in Stockholm in 1967.
