The Documentation and Cultural Centre and the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma mourn the loss of Prof. Dr. Rita Süssmuth, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 88. “Sinti and Roma owe Rita Süssmuth a great debt of gratitude. She not only supported the work of the Central Council for many years, but also campaigned at the political level for the realization of the Documentation and Cultural Centre in Heidelberg,” emphasized Romani Rose, Chairman of the Central Council and Managing Director of the Documentation and Cultural Centre.
