==== Prosecution and confiscation of her works ====
However, this changed due to the increasingly [[Antisemitism|antisemitic]] atmosphere in the late 1920s, which resulted in the [[Nazi Germany|national socialist dictatorship]]. In 1933, the association of Hamburg artists expelled Alma del Banco because she came from a Jewish family, as these expulsions had become government mandated. In contrast, the ''Hamburg Secession'' disbanded itself, partially because they wanted to spare their Jewish colleagues the humiliation of being expelled. <br>
13 of her paintings were confiscated from the ''Hamburger Kunsthalle'' in 1937 during the ''Entartete Kunst'' ([[degenerate art]]) movement. Nine of these paintings were subsequently destroyed, the fate of three more paintings is unknown. Only one painting, ''Bildnis Pastor Hunzingers'' [REF 5] (portrait of Pastor Hunzinger), could be recovered. The oil painting was sold to [[art dealer]] Bernhard A. Böhmer in 1940 for “recycling”, recovered after 1945 and, as of March 2021, now resides in the ''Kulturhistorisches Museum Rostock'' [REF 6] (cultural-historical museum of Rostock) for the sake of [[Repatriation (cultural property)|repatriation]]. In 1938, Alma del Banco was expelled from the ''Reichskulturkammer'' ([[Reich chamberChamber of cultureCulture]]). She was persecuted by the regime both for being Jewish and for being an [[Avant-garde|avantgarde]] artist. The government banned her from partaking in [[Exhibition|exhibitions]], and due to her expulsion from artistic societies as well as the public contempt for her works, she began spiraling more and more into artistic and social isolation.
