Average rating5
Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker who became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Hitler's concentration camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the twentieth century. In World War II she and her family risked their lives to help Jews and underground workers escape from the Nazis, and for their work they were tested in the infamous Nazi death camps. Only Corrie among her family survived to tell the story of how faith ultimately triumphs over evil.
Here is the riveting account of how Corrie and her family were able to save many of God's chosen people. For 35 years millions have seen that there is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still. Now The Hiding Place, repackaged for a new generation of readers, continues to declare that God's love will overcome, heal, and restore.

I think this book should be read by all school kids in addition to or in place of “The Diary of Anne Frank”.
This is a great book about finding faith in truly disheartening times. Corrie ten Boom was a brave dutch woman who, along with her family, worked with the dutch underground to hide jews from the German soldiers. They obtained stolen ration cards, forged papers and addresses for families in outlying areas who could take them in. The few that were a higher risk because they looked “too jewish” or they had health problems stayed with Corrie and her family. A secret room was added to the house so they could hide when the Gastapo came. They had drills and tried to be prepared for the grueling questioning by the german soldier's but how can one really prepare for such a thing?
