Someone Betrayed Them

Sadly for Hortense and her family, someone would end up betraying the family by telling the Gestapo about what they were doing. Their home was raided and the family was taken into custody, getting beaten and questioned brutally by the members of Hitler’s army. She was then separated from her father, who was sent to the Buchenwald Concentration Camp, while she and her mother were sent elsewhere and experimented on. Incredibly, they all survived to tell the tale.

Number 3: Swing Youth

Considering that the Nazi regime thrived on its communism and horribly strict rules, those living in any country taken over by the Nazis were not privy to the outside world, at least not to what Hitler didn’t want them to hear. The Swingjugend, otherwise known as the ‘Swing Youth’ was a name given to a group of teens that not only loved swing music from America and Great Britain, but managed to have underground parties where they would listen and dance to it, which was considered forbidden.
