 The film `` The Sound of Music '' is based on the true story of the von Trapp family. The film is based on a love story in wartime. The Nazi occupation forces the family to leave Austria in 1938. **Captain von Trapp and Maria ** **Georg von Trapp**, born in 1880, became a national hero as a captain in the Austrian navy during World War I. He commanded submarines with valor and received the title of Ritter as a reward for his heroic accomplishments. Georg married Agathe Whitehead in 1912. They had seven children together: Rupert, Agathe, Maria, Werner, Hedwig, Johanna and Martina. After World War I, Austria lost all of its seaports, and Georg retired from the navy. His wife died in 1922. **Maria Augusta** was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1905. Maria graduated from college, and as a result of her religious awakening, she entered the Benedictine Abbey of Nonnberg in Salzburg as a novice. However, her health suffered from not getting the exercise and fresh air to which she was accustomed. When Georg von Trapp approached the Reverend Mother of the Abbey seeking a teacher for his sick daughter, Maria was chosen, partly because of her training and skill as a teacher, but also because of concern for her health. She was supposed to remain with the von Trapps for 10 months.

Maria tutored young Maria and developed a caring and loving relationship with all the children. She enjoyed singing with them and getting them involved in outdoor activities. During this time, Georg fell in love with Maria and asked her to stay with him and become a second mother to his children. Of his proposal, Maria said, "God must have made him word it that way because if he had only asked me to marry him I might not have said yes." Maria Kutschera and Georg von Trapp married in 1927. They had three children together: Rosmarie, Eleonore, and Johannes. The family lost most of its wealth through the worldwide depression. As depicted in //The Sound of Music//, the family won first place in the Salzburg Music Festival in 1936 and became successful, singing Renaissance and Baroque music. When the Nazis annexed Austria in 1938, the von Trapps realized that they were on thin ice with a regime they abhorred. Georg not only refused to fly the Nazi flag on their house, but he also declined a naval command and a request to sing at Hitler's birthday party. They were also becoming aware of the Nazis' anti-religious propaganda and policies, the pervasive fear that those around them could be acting as spies for the Nazis. They decided that they could not compromise their principles and left. [|Information]

<span class="hps" style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">**Adolf Hitler** joined the NSDAP <span style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">, the forerunner <span class="hps" style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">of the Nazi party in 1919 and becameleader of the latter in 1921. In 1923 Hitler attempted a coup known as the Beer Hall Putsch <span style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">. <span class="hps" style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The failed coup was so Hitler was imprisoned.

He supervised the rearming of Germany and the 1939 invasion of Poland by the Wehrmacht in September 1939 which led to the outbreak of World War II. Carrying out such acts <span style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">, Hitler <span class="hps" style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">violated the Versailles Treaty of 1919 which established peace in the FirstWorld War. <span class="hps" style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Under the leadership of Hitler, in 1941 the German forces and their allies occupied most of Europe and North Africa. These gains were reversed gradually after 1941,and 1945 when the Allies defeated the German army. Racial, **<span class="hps" style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Hitler was the cause ofthe death of 17 million people, including six million Jews and between 500,000 and ****<span class="hps" style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">1,500,000 of gypsies.

"Holocaust" is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire." The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were a "race" and that Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community. <span style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">During the era of the Holocaust, German authorities persecuted other groups because of their perceived "racial inferiority": Roma, the disabled and some Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others). Other groups were persecuted on political, ideological and behavioral, among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses and homosexuals. <span style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In 1933, the Jewish population of Europe stood at over nine million, and most European Jews lived in countries that Nazi Germany would occupy or dominate during the Second World War. By 1945, the Germans and their collaborators had killed about two of every three European Jews as part of the "Final Solution". <span style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Many of these people died as a result of incarceration and abuse. <span style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In the early years of the Nazi regime, the National Socialist government established concentration camps to detain political opponents, both real and ideological assumptions. <span style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The Nazi German authorities deported millions of Jews from Germany, the occupied territories and countries of many of its Axis allies to ghettos and killing centers, also called death centers, where they were murdered in gas chambers designed for death. <span style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">During the last months of the war, SS guards moved into the camp inmates by train.The marches continued until May 7, 1945, the day the German armed forces surrendered unconditionally to the Allies.
