Coucou everyone!

Catherine shares how a love for jazz and swing music turned a group of teens from fans into resistance members in Nazi Germany - and they called themselves the Swingjugend. To this day, jazz and swing symbolize freedom of expression, non-conformism, liberalism, independence, and internationalism, and that is exactly what these music genres symbolized to the Swing Youth. Then Kate shares the history behind the iconic German beer stein. Prost!
