Ilse was a talented and charismatic woman. She served as mayor of the municipality of Aalst and raised campaigns over the years for female empowerment. Her motto wשs always “because people are important”. A love story that began during Covid cost her her life and she was murdered in her sleep with brutal hammer blows. She left behind two beautiful sons and a heartbroken mother. This is her favorite shirt, transparent in body color and a delicate, soft matching skirt. This is how her life ended, and her clothes now hang silently in Brussels, alongside the other victims at the event initiated by the Israeli Embassy in Belgium.
