Corrie ten Boom was a woman admired the world over for her courage, her forgiveness, and her memorable faith. In World War II, she and her family risked their lives to help Jews escape the Nazis, and their reward was a trip to Hitler's concentration camps. But she survived and was released--as a result of a clerical error--and now shares the story of how faith triumphs over evil. For thirty-five years Corrie's dramatic life story, full of timeless virtues, has prepared readers to face their own futures with faith, relying on God's love to overcome, heal, and restore. Now releasing in a thirty-fifth anniversary edition for a new generation of readers, The Hiding Place tells the riveting story of how a middle-aged Dutch watchmaker became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Hitler's death camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the twentieth century.

you'll know it's true, when it happens to you
Disturbing look at a bunch of disturbed "base politicians".
Apparently mostly Gay and degenerate themsleves.
(failed soldiers and failed artist, poultry farmers, veterans--somewhat rightly mad over the
treaty of versilles)
Anyway,It is a good reminder in it's retelling of how no one said ANYTHING as people disappeared from their homes.
And the gradual incitement of hatred of Jews for various social ills. Although the nazi regime had a "root race theory" and wanted to "cleanse" their society of probably people like you and me. We read books and write stuff.

classic: don't miss it!
This is one of my favorite books and, having recently reread it, I can assure you it is one of the best books out there about Holocaust rescuers. It is also a very fast read and suitable for children who are in middle-school and older. Finally, the author has a very spiritual perspective on her experiences, one that, in my opinion, transcends the Christian framework in which it is presented. Young people and adults alike will be moved by her capacity to forgive--in the end-- those who nearly killed her, and who did kill her friends. Plus this book is very gripping....there's a reason it was made into a feature film. In short: don't miss it! It is one of the most moving books you are likely to read ever. If you want more suggestions about Holocaust rescuer books see my Listmania list. There are some other good ones out there such as The Heart Has Reasons: Holocaust Rescuers and Their Stories of Courage which profiles other people like Corrie ten Boom who did similar things in Holland. There is also In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer which tells the story of a lady in Poland who did something similar to what Corrie did in Holland.

The Hiding Place
I bought a used copy from Amazon, and was pleasantly surprised to see what good condition it was in. I read the book many years ago, and wanted to reread it. I enjoyed it even more the second time, although I don't know if "enjoy" is the appropriate word. It was very meaningful and thought-provoking.

I Never Tire of Reading It
I have read "The Hiding Place" any number of times, and am always newly inspired by this true story.
Listening to it as an audio book was lovely...it was like re-visiting an old friend. It was also informative to hear all the names and Dutch words pronounced correctly! :)
