DS019 Professor Carolina Ardila

A part of Carolina Ardila’s family was killed in the Holocaust, while another part was able to flee to South America. Today, Carolina is a Colombian professor researching historical memory. Her project shares similarities with the Descendants Stuff podcast.

To learn more about Carolina’s academic work in Colombia visit the website of her project, Memoria y Voces.

Also follow her project’s Instagram.

Descendants Stuff podcast is produced by Jakob Feisthauer, Kelsey Snook and Nicole Wines – three descendants of Sachsenhausen prisoners and co-creators of the Sachsenhausen Stuff project.

The Descendants Stuff team would like to extend a special thank you to the team at Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum especially Dr. Astrid Ley, and the members of the educational department’s project “What Voice Do We Have?”, as well as the descendant’s collective Voices of the Next Generation.

Our theme music, “Heil, Sachsenhausen!” was written and performed by former Sachsenhausen prisoner Aleksander Kulisiewicz. Thanks to the United States Holocaust Memorial and Museum and the Aleksander Kulisiewicz collection for granting permission for its use.

If you are a Sachsenhausen descendant who would like to share your story, please contact us.
