Biography
While her brother successfully immigrated to Cuba in 1939, Bromberger was unable to leave the country. The painter Elisabeth Noltenius remained a close friend and supported her during this time despite interrogations by the Gestapo. In 1941, she was deported to Minsk and sent to the Maly Trostenets concentration camp, where she was murdered in 1942.
