From their IG post link:

In the 1930s, Valaida Snow was known as “Little Louis” because her talent with a #trumpet rivaled the legendary Louis Armstrong. She performed around the world, but it was a tour of #Europe that would haunt her for the rest of her life.
While in German-occupied #Denmark, Snow is said to have been arrested and imprisoned in Copenhagen.
It’s unclear why she was arrested, or what was done to her while she was held, but after her release in a May 1942 prisoner exchange, Snow never recovered emotionally. She continued to perform in the United States, but never regained her former success. She died in 1956 at the age of 51.
