From 1929 to 1931 she was married to the painter and writer Wolf Hildebrandt. In 1931, Helen Ernst became a member of the KPD and the ASSO (Association of Revolutionary Visual Artists of Germany) and worked with the Red Aid. In 1933 she was arrested twice, the first time being imprisoned in the Barnimstrasse women's prison in Friedrichshain. In 1934 Helen Ernst emigrated to the Netherlands. Here she worked as a press illustrator, mainly for social democratic and socialist newspapers, and with this work she participated in the resistance against the Nazi regime and the German occupying army. On December 6, 1940, Helen Ernst was arrested in Amsterdam by the SS/Gestapo and deported to Germany. Helen Ernst was a prisoner in the Ravensbrück women's concentration camp from 1941 to 1945 and in a subcamp on the Baltic Sea from September 1944. After the liberation by the Red Army she moved to Schwerin.
