Ilse Braun
Ilse Braun (1909 – 1979) was one of two sisters of Eva Braun. Born in Munich, Braun was the oldest daughter of school teacher Friedrich "Fritz" Braun and seamstress Franziska "Fanny" Kronberger. She became the sister-in-law of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler following his marriage to Eva on 29 April 1945, less than 48 hours before the couple committed suicide together on 30 April 1945.
Biography
Braun moved out of her parents' home in 1929 and took a position as an assistant to Dr. Martin Levy Marx, a Jewish otolaryngologist and surgeon. She was provided with a room at the office of her employer, and left his employ only when he made preparations to emigrate to the United States in 1937 in the face of persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany. Non-Aryan doctors had been excluded from payments under the national health insurance plan in April 1933, and the passing of the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour in 1937 meant he and Braun risked arrest on charges of "defiling the race". Marx's license to practice medicine was revoked in 1938 and he was expatriated in April 1939. His doctorate was revoked in October 1939; he had already emigrated to the United States by then. Braun stated after the war that she and Eva had tried unsuccessfully to intercede on his behalf.

Hold Me Tight (feat. Jason Wade)
by: Alyssa Berna[Verse 1: Alyssa]
Close the door, turn the key
In this room it's just you and me
There's no outside and there's no end
This isn't even a beginning
Let's take a chance, see what we find
Cause in this space where we don't need to hide.
It's in our hearts, yeah we'll be safe.
You're not alone, don't be afraid.
[Chorus: Alyssa]
Hold me now, hold me tight,
Hold me all through the night
Let it go, the fear, the doubt,
Lock me in don't let me out
It's so dark, the place I've been,
But with you I feel alive again
And I know it can't be us,
But tonight just hold me tight
[Verse 2: Jason]
I've been kissed and thrown away
Left to drown
Oh, I've prayed
That I would find something so beautiful
I just wanna live and be loved so
[Chorus: Both]
Hold me now, hold me tight,
Hold me all through the night
Let it go, the fear, the doubt,
Lock me in don't let me out
It's so dark, the place I've been,
But with you I feel alive again
And I know it can't be us,
But tonight just hold me tight
[Bridge: Alyssa/Jason/Both]
I've been living like a fool
Just like a fool
I wanna live a life that's full
Oh do you remember?
Heeyyyy
[Chorus: Both]
Hold me now, hold me tight,
Hold me all through the night
Let it go, the fear, the doubt,
Lock me in don't let me out
It's so dark, the place I've been,
But with you I feel alive again
And I know it can't be us,
But tonight just hold me tight
