Stephen Fry explores a remarkable story of forgery, sabotage, and audacity by the Dutch Resistance that saved thousands of Jews from Nazi death camps. Focusing on two LGBTQ+ war heroes, Willem Arondeus, an artist and writer, and Frieda Belinfante, a cellist and conductor, who risked their lives to pull off one of the most audacious acts of sabotage in WWII. Why has this incredible story remained largely hidden to the present day?
