Woven in Courage | Episode 8: Stillness and Sabotage
In the bitter cold of February and March 1945, the Netherlands was starving, hunted, and on edge. This episode takes you deep into the final months of Nazi occupation through the eyes and hidden journal of a young Dutch resistor in Groningen. As Allied bombs thunder overhead and Nazi collaborators lurk around every corner, he spins wool in silence—masking resistance work behind the hum of a spinning wheel.
From coded Bible verses to rabbit deliveries for those in hiding, Stillness and Sabotage unravels the quiet defiance that helped feed and shelter the Dutch resistance. You'll hear of daring ambushes near Dokkum, the tragic death of Jan Koene, and the secret messages woven into children’s books and devotional stories. Each journal entry is a breath held, each visitor a potential threat—or an ally.
✨ What you'll hear:
The brutal reality of the Dutch Hunger Winter
How Group 2000 may have used coded literature to coordinate sabotage
The emotional toll of living with collaborators and informants nearby
Air-raid alarms, resistance drop zones, and the ever-present need to “sit still”
Historical insights from WWII experts and Dutch resistance records
This isn't just history. It's survival. It's courage. It's the story of one family, one journal, and a fight for freedom stitched between lines of stillness.
