In 1928 she became a member of the Association of Artists and Art Friends (GEDOK) in Bremen. She painted watercolors and oil paintings mainly as landscapes and still lifes in the style of Expressionism .
From 1933, during the time of National Socialism , the born Jew had to endure increasing repression despite her conversion to the Protestant Church in 1888. Bromberger was friends with the Bremen painter Elisabeth Noltenius , who stood by her during this time. Her brother Siegried Bromberger, a grain dealer, emigrated to Cuba in 1939 . During the Second World War , she and her sister were deported to Minsk in 1941 and murdered in the Maly Trostinez extermination camp in 1942 .
