Description

Barbara Loftus is a British artist with roots in Berlin. Based on her mother Hildegard´s childhood memories, Barbara Loftus depicts the life of her assimilated Jewish grandparents Herta and Sigismund Basch in Berlin before 1933. She visualizes the horror and terror that disrupted the idyllic, middle class neighborhood of Schöneberg with the Nazis' rise to power. Hildegard´s parents and brother were deported to Auschwitz on December 14, 1942; she survived by emigrating to Great Britain. Barbara Loftus` mother kept these memories private all her life. Only in old age did she begin to share these traumatic experiences with her daughter. (Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin).
