About this listen

In World War II, deep in the forests of the Netherlands, a secret village was built that the Nazis never found. Hidden under moss, branches, and earth, huts became home to Jewish families, Allied soldiers, resistance fighters — and even one deserted German soldier.


How did they build this hidden place right under the noses of 200 SS troops? Who lived there, and what was daily life like when every sound could give them away?


This episode of Holland’s Hidden Heroes tells the story of a secret forest village — a place of hope, survival, and courage in the darkest days of WWII.



Note: References to "Germans" here mean Nazi Germany of the past, not modern Germany, whose people hold very different values and beliefs.
