Die Sintiza and civil right activist Ilona Lagrene has died at 73.

Romani Rose, chairman of the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, praised her for her “tireless education” about the minority’s history of persecution. For her it was never about “transferring blame”, but rather about “passing on knowledge”.

May she rest in peace.
