Artist Biography
Hilda Bernstein was born in London in 1915 and emigrated to South Africa at the age of 18 years where she became active in politics. She married fellow activist Lionel "Rusty" Bernstein in March 1941, and together they played prominent roles in the struggle to end Apartheid in South Africa. Hilda was forced to flee to Botswana in 1964 after a period of prolonged harassment from the South African Government. Hilda lived in Britain for some years where she further established herself internationally as a speaker, writer, and artist. She returned with her husband to South Africa in 1994 for the South African election in which fellow activist Nelson Mandela was elected President. She died at the age of 91 in Cape Town, South Africa.
