Wally Hirsh, New Zealand’s fourth Race Relations Conciliator, passed away on New Year’s Eve, aged 88. A German Jewish refugee, Hirsh was a respected educator, community leader, and advocate for Māori language and culture. Despite early criticism of his appointment in 1986, he earned respect for his dedication to addressing racism. Hirsh later became a school principal and pursued pottery in retirement. He is survived by his wife, Adele, and family.
