==== Final years ====

After the death of her still unmarried half-brother Siegmund del Banco, Alma moved out of their shared apartment at the ''[[Jungfernstieg]]'' and moved in with her [[Sibling-in-law|brother-in-law]] Hans Lübbert, who had already set up a studio for her in his house years prior. There, she was put on [[house arrest]] by the government. In her last years, she suffered from [[Cardiac insufficiency|heart insufficiency]] and at age 79, she felt too weak and too old to [[Emigration|emigrate]]. When she received her deportation notice for the concentration camp[[Theresienstadt Ghetto|Theresienstadt]], Alma del Banco ended her own life with [[morphine]] on March 8, 1943. <br>

She was buried in the area of the Lübbert family grave on [[Ohlsdorf cemeteryCemetery]], where a pillow stone reminds of her [REF 7]. <br>

Due to her persecution as well as the [[confiscation]] and partial destruction of her paintings during the Nazi regime, she and her works faded from collective memory. Art historian Maike Bruhns helped to bring her back into the public eye.
