Olga Fisch: Her Life and Journey through the 20th Century

From Hungary to Ecuador

 

It is hard to imagine two more disparate places, yet they anchor the beginning and the end of her most remarkable life.
 
This website will attempt to explore her contributions and to help preserve the memory of her life's work- which touched, and continues to touch, the lives of so many.

Olga Fisch: Folklore.

  • The legacy of Olga Fisch is far and foremost in the hands of Folklore; the company that she and her husband Bela founded in Quito, Ecuador in 1944. It continues and the main custodians of her legacy have been, and continue to be, her niece Gogo Anhalzer and her daughter Margara. If ever in Ecuador please visit the store/museum in Quito, or visit the website.
