My grandparents were from Arnhem in the Netherlands. They were some of the people who started the onderduikers, or the underground. If you've seen the movie "A Bridge Too Far" that pretty much summed up what they went through. My grandfather to this day refuses to talk about what went on, but I know from other family members that he and others were essentially fighting the SS with guerilla tactics in the streets, sometimes with nothing more than piano wire and molotov cocktails. I cant imagine what that must have been like...
