The Hiding Place is the story of Corrie Ten Boom and her family who lived in Holland during the Second World War and at the time when the Nazi’s invaded the country and all Jews were being segregated and punished.
The Ten Boom family had strong Christian beliefs and felt it was the right thing to go in helping their Jewish friends in every possible way. They became part of the Dutch underground and their home quickly became the center for an anti-Nazi operation.
Keeping the Jews safe was a constant struggle for Corrie and her family and in the end, they were found out and sent to concentration camps where they were separated from each other. After some years Corrie and her sister Betsie ended up in the same camp and their time there was both very harsh and good as their faith, especially Betsie’s faith, helped others in their pain and brought others to know Christ.
The Hiding Place is at times a harrowing read but overall it is a story of love for people and the love that Christ shows us all – and that even in the hardest times He is always with us.
