Very interesting love your video! Thank you. I feel the direction of our politics in this country is going that way. Get on board with the mob or else.

Oh, I’m gonna listen to this one. Should be very interesting. Esp; if they show any pics that bring back memories.

Did Maria and the Captain find love after they married since it was God's will? I loved how Maria described how they came to marry.

Some people are so afraid and worried about losing their freedom, that they are losing it 😢😢😢😢

Janice Joplin sang "freedom's just another word for Nothin' left to lose".

Incredible… thank you for this!? My family came from, Finland… May God continue to bless you!

What a beautiful tribute to the family!! I have been fortunate to meet Elizabeth Von Trapp several times and hear her sing at my church in Virginia. I even had her sign a painting I created just for the occasion of her first visit. It was, of course, an Edelweiss. Elizabeth is a beautiful singer and I have many of her cds. What a treasure of hope and inspiration this family is and continues to be for all of us. An example of what life can be when faith, love, and hope are at the center despite all challenges. I definitely need to visit Vermont!!

Sound Of Music was not accurate thats a lie, it was complete opposite, America got in did their story their version, it wasnt true the movie Bull S ❤

Marie was a wicket mum very controlling controlled the 10 kids, maybe because she beaten daily by her uncle, where she ran away at 15, the mum never allow the kids to mix out side socially, she was rebel strong women though, the dad was gentle man, Maria was a bully to him also, when he died she felt guilty for treating him very bad. Sound of music all twisted Americanised. It was all money power. Kids had it tough it definitely wasnt a bed of roses. ❤

Such a legacy! 🫶

Two our my kids & wonderful son-in-love were just there on the grounds in Salzburg two weeks ago. Loved their pictures. Sending the video to our daughter .

That was fascinating to watch! I learned so much. Thank you for this glimpse into the true Von Trapp family. My question; Maria spoke of a small graveyard on the land, are the rest of the family buried there as well?

Interesting I never found you. The fact i type my last name in and didn't find you, only that hockey player and Richard Vanek the painter, Jac Vanek punk singer. I really dislike the fact this is evidence of tampering with peoples ability to earn a living. Think about this band trying to make it. UnCOOL!!!! I just saw a dude vanektheband, NEVER, in all the years of YT, they never appaer. Sorry to interrupt. You a Bohunk, or Czech. Im Bohunk.

Listening to his life and his unfortunate death makes me think more and more that politics is the killer of pure art

Wonderful story and good to know that Maria Von Trapp came to Papua New Guinea and settled in Alotau, Milne Bay Province. She helped to write the Catholic Hymn Book in the local Suwau language. Thankyou Maria for your contribution to the people of Milne Bay. PNG. 🙏❤

Don't just comment. This needs to be shared. Messages like these need to be spread.

Because of the lack of Ingalls girls children do you think maybe them being raised so poor. Lack of food, etc..

Wonderful family films

Thank u so much. I was in Salzburg in the 80’s & thought how beautiful it was! Loved The Sound of Music movie as a forever movie for everyone to see. The real Maria VonTrapp was oh so lovely & sweet. My love’s father was a professional golfer & retired to Stowe, Vt & was golf pro there & he knew Maria after the Captain had died. He & my love’s father had some dinners Maria cooked at the lodge.

I love watching "Die Trapp Familie" and "Die Trapp Familie im Amerika" on KZbin every Christmas. Much more true to reality. "Sound of Music" is good too, but very fantastical.

SOM tour: Yes!!!!!

How wonderful and beautiful ! The real story ! How I have loved the movie all these years .Thank you 💗

I love the Frederick Douglass quote that these men were rebels in their own time, and that the way to honor them is to be rebels in your own time. This is always been how I've seen things, and I think it informs us the of way forward. Always. Thank you!

Wonderful. 💜 💜

Such a beautiful story! Loved seeing the the real Maria on film. What a wonderful person!

the von trapp dad was a convicted tax fraudster

You lost me with the timeshare scam.

I am almost 70, recently sold my home and bought a tiny home. I just unpacked a box that had my lederhosen and 3 different sweaters from my childhood in Austria. 🙂. (None of my family wants any of them😞)

Baal as your company logo?

Jesus Christ, the thrill of hope, for a sick, hurting, and weary world-Romans 10:9-10 from the Bible: “That if you confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.”

Elon Musk should listen to that.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤

Get out of town ! I did not know the von Trapps where a real family. Amazing.

Thank you for this presentation. I will have to look into this further. I didn’t know that you had a lodge.

Sound of music was just Hollywood movie, real story is much more interesting, they were quite close family who worked together

Saw a similar presentation when I visited the vontrapp motel last decade. Loved it there

I wish she would have talked about the whistle and peoples’ misconceptions bc of the movie. People think the captain was so overbearing and blew the whistle to exercise military control over the family. In Maria’s book and maybe Agatha‘s book they talk about how the whistles were used because the grounds were very large, and it was more convenient than yelling to try to find someone. He was a kind and gentle man according to the family. But I sure enjoyed this presentation, it was very well done and she was very engaging. Thank you!!

My wife and I detested this book. The author makes the Renaissance characters sound like extras from a Quentin Tarantino film. One woman in the novel leers at a male, in the same way that the millennial males leer at young girls. A disingenuous piece of trash.

I just read *On Freedom*. In my CT community we just elected our Rep foe the 22nd District, a nurse. Healthcare and health is central to her program going forward. I also agree about knowledge of the past, as a key to understanding now and envisioning the future. Thank you so much. Finally, I grew up near Hudson, Ohio - in Mantua, and attended Kent State University.

Saw Mary Beth today she's fablous

I really enjoyed listening to Maria tell her story. She may have had eye disease and couldn’t see well, but there was a real twinkle in her eye! You could see why the Captain fell for her.😊

Thank you so much for this. So hard to find quality content sharing my own beliefs. ❤

that was very interesting 👍

I took health and health insurance for granted for SO MANY years and then my husband got very sick and I was laid off, then I got deathly sick but still had to work for insurance and for years insurance has been such an enormous issue. It is an issue that has kept me awake related to this election. It has cost us so much money and grief and we had worked so hard to take care of ourselves. I would love to see universal healthcare here. But I am going to read this book because I agree freedom is so multidimensional and now I’m fascinated. I have watched so many of your videos and love your work. Thank you.

Passed by this hotel….just gorgeous!
