Completed in 1996, an interpretation of Kristallnacht, the official looting of Jewish homes in Germany in November 1938, as recalled by Hildegard.

Begun in 2000, this series of works explore the romantic spirit of the German Youth Movement as it was experienced before 1933, before the politicization and militarization of youth in Germany.

Completed in 2007, this cycle of paintings concerns a significant day remembered from Hildegard’s childhood, which reveals the domestic impact of the Weimar Hyperinflation of the 1920s.
