In this episode, we’re traveling back in time to the Netherlands in World War II. Imagine this: people were so hungry they didn’t know when their next meal would come. But just when things seemed darkest, the Allies—brave pilots and crews from around the world—came to the rescue. Planes filled the skies, dropping packages of food to save the day!

Why did these planes fly such dangerous missions? How did the food reach the people who needed it most? And what special care was given to help children who were especially hungry and weak?

This is a story of bravery, big hearts, and how people came together to help each other in a time of great need.

A hidden village the Nazis couldn't find.

In the heart of the Netherlands, resistance fighters built a secret village — right under the noses of 200 SS soldiers. Jewish refugees, Allied military, resistance members, and even a deserted German soldier found shelter here in huts hidden beneath moss, branches, and earth. No noise. No trace.

In this episode we take you into the story of the hidden village, a place of hope and survival. Discover how they built it, who lived there and what their daily life was like.
