Here are stories from Holland of survival and courage during the Nazi tyranny of World War II.

WWI ended with disputes. Germany invaded Poland in 1939, prompting Britain's war declaration - WWII's start. The 6-year war involved battles leading to Britain's victory, claiming over 60 million lives, history's deadliest conflict.

In 1940 England was at war. After Germany had failed to cripple Britain's airpower, especially in the Battle of Britain, Adolf Hitler was forced to make a change in strategy. By early September 1940, Hitler ordered the German bombers to switch their attention to London, with 57 consecutive nights of bombing known as "blitzkrieg" or the lightning war. By the end of Day One of the Blitz, German planes had dropped close to 300 tons of bombs on London. Although civilian populations were not the primary target of the poorest area, the East End suffered the most. Despite the barrage of enemy attacks that would continue until May 1941, London and its people were prepared.

The work of two artists, Henri Matisse and Henri Bonnard, during the World War II period, is explored in this documentary.
