Homosexuality was identified as a danger to Nazi society and the Nazi regime attempted to eliminate it. Willem Arondeus and Frieda Belinfante were two openly gay Dutch artists who joined the anti-Nazi resistance. They helped Jews escape arrest and deportation to the concentration camps. In 1943, they led a group which destroyed the Nazi records office in Amsterdam so that Nazis could not identify local Jews. Frieda managed to escape by dressing up as a male. She hid in Switzerland and eventually immigrated to the United States in 1947. Willem, however, was captured and executed. Before being hanged, his final words were: “Let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards!”
