What did the Trapp family do when they lost their money?

When the Trapp family lost their money due to the economic turmoil in Austria after World War I, they faced significant financial difficulties. They were forced to sell their possessions and seek alternative means of income. Eventually, they turned to music, with the family performing together to earn a living, which ultimately led to their emigration to the United States. This transition marked the beginning of their successful music career and the foundation of the Trapp Family Singers.
