The year is 1941. The Nazi party has been in control of Germany since 1933 and has taken over more territories. Their hunger for power pushes them to control and mind-wash a larger population. The nazi party forced people to follow the rules, implanting their superiority. If the rules were to be broken, then murder was imminent. Although most of the people that lived in Germany did follow what the Nazis had to say, the few that didn’t played a risky game. People lived a very stressful life because of the threat of Nazis.

The people who did not follow these rules were exceedingly brave but most did not survive the Second World War. This is because they would get caught and be murdered for what they did “wrong.” Some of these people did survive the war with the people they were hiding as well.

Even though at the time they were viewed as crazy and insane (which some people might still think of them this way), they are now regarded as heroes. Although most people who were influenced by the Nazis finally saw the wrong that they were doing, the “heroes” knew they were bad from the beginning and prepared for the storm the Nazis
