My grandpa were living in Berlin studying and teaching at art university in berlin where they had 'ghost classes' (secret classes) since artists and intellectual were considered as 'enemies', I am not really sure why but some people found out and gave my grandpa an ultimatum to leave the university before the week was over but he understood that leaving the university wasn't enough. He and his wife escaped the borders with only a small amount of money and a gun. Later also my granpa's brother left berlin and the family left their houses and land for England, Denmark and Sweden.
Grandpa and his wife, who were a professional concert pianist, left Germany for Stockholm, Sweden. Were my grandma came second place in a 'typewriting contest' and my grandpa started to hang out with some jet-set artists then my grandma died when gave birth to my mother. My grandpa later started an art college here in Stockholm. He died in 1986. He would've been 102 years old this year. R.I.P.
