Anne-Caroline Bruns is the granddaughter of Louis Mourot (March 4, 1923 – February 7, 2016).
Louis was a member of the French Resistance during World War II. Due to his involvement, he was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, where he was imprisoned from 1943 to 1945. He survived the camp.

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.
