Heinrich Feisthauer (14.09.1898 in Eckersdorf – 11.11.1964 in Esperke) was arrested as a part of the June campaign in 1938. The SS labeld him as “Asozial”. He survived the concentration camp and was released in very poor health conditions in January 1939. Jakob Feisthauer, the great grandson of Heinrich, discovered the compensation files of Heinrich.
Documents related to Heinrich are available in our archive.

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.
