ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This staircase is the main ascent for one the flak towers built 1942-1944 in Germany. Constructed in 300 days with 1,000 forced laborers, it is one of the largest bunkers ever built. It provided shelter during bombing raids for 25,000 people. Imagine this staircase, and back then it had no railing, filled with hundreds of refugees, huddling together, fearful for their lives, and yet hoping for survival and an end to the war

AUTHOR
Hilda Champion is a German/American fine art photographer living in Naples, Florida.

Her love for traveling has taken her all over the globe providing ample opportunities to experience different cultures, appreciate the arts, and train the eye to the marvels of this world.
She prefers to work with available light as opposed to adding artificial light and, consequently, is more of an outdoor photographer rather than indoor.

Hilda shows her work globally in exhibitions and competitions and has received numerous international awards and accolades. She sells her work in very small limited editions, in custom sizes and finishes, but also offers media licenses and finished artwork for lease.
