With her selfless commitment to defending the Rojava Revolution, the name of 19-year-old communist Ivana Hoffmann has been indelibly etched into the history of the revolutionary movement. As a young German-Togolese woman, she travelled to the mountains of Kurdistan, and took part in the armed struggle.

On 7th March 2015, she fell defending an Assyrian village in Rojava when it was attacked by ISIS.
