The Hiding Place
Corrie ten Boom, Elizabeth Sherrill, John Sherrill
This is the true, autobiographical story of Corrie ten Boom, a middle-aged Dutch watchmaker who, along with her devoutly Christian family, became an unlikely heroine of the Resistance during World War II. Living in Haarlem, the family risks their lives to hide Jewish refugees and others hunted by the Nazis in a secret room, which they call 'the hiding place.' The family's operation, driven by their deep faith and conviction that love triumphs over hate, is eventually betrayed, leading to the arrest of Corrie and many of her relatives. Corrie is sent to the notorious Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she witnesses unimaginable cruelty but is sustained by her unshakeable faith. Corrie miraculously survives her imprisonment, being released due to a clerical error, and dedicates the rest of her life to traveling the world and sharing her message of God's unconditional love, courage, and the power of forgiveness, even for those who committed the most horrific evils.
