>Carolin was born in 2001 in the village of Otersen in Lower Saxony, to a German Protestant family. She later moved to Berlin to study sustainable fashion. This is where she met British-Israeli photographer Danny Darlington, and started modelling for him. They became firm friends, and Danny wanted to take her to see Israel with him. Their trip to Israel was a great success for the first two weeks. They went sightseeing in Jerusalem and floated in the Dead Sea. They sunbathed at the beach in Tel Aviv and went out at night with friends. They went trekking in the desert and stayed in kibbutz Nir Oz with Danny’s family and friends. Danny documented everything on Instagram.

>Danny's last post shows Carolin looking into the sunset at Nir Oz and listening to the muezzin call from the mosque in nearby Gaza, on the night of October 6. The next morning, thousands of terrorists broke through the border and invaded the kibbutzim, killing, burning and butchering people hiding in their houses. Danny and Carolin went into the safe room of the house where they were staying, but the terrorists found them. Carolin managed to send a last text to her mother: “Thank you for everything you did for me. I love you.”
